Trust is a funny word.
It has many implications.
I trust God.
I trust my Wife.
I have trust in my friends and family.
I trust that the mode of transportation I choose will get me safely to my destination...
(I also trust in the men and women who operate those various modes...)
I trust in the electric company to keep the lights on.
I trust that my body will continue to function "normally".
I trust that the food I eat will not make me sick.
I trust in strangers, on whom I rely, to do their jobs.
and so on, and so on...
By definition trust is: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. Or, the confident expectation of something; hope.
I give trust without much thought in many instances,
yet I am reticent to give trust when it comes to things that I feel the need to control.
I find it easier to trust God for help in the major, crisis-like things, yet in the day to day stuff...I give little thought to the level of trust I give Him...because much of what I achieve appears to come from my hand.
Trust is easy as a philosophical consideration, but much more difficult to make a day to day practical application.
Trust: It is something that we often take for granted, never really thinking about it. (unless it comes to money...)
If we dwell on it, I think trust frightens some of us.
But I need to ask, do you need more of it in your life?
If yes, where or in whom will you place your trust?
