Trust


Proverbs 3: 5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

This is one of my favorite scriptures. I find myself getting comfortable with a favorite passage and not really taking the time to absorb it’s meaning – meditate on it – let it do its work on my heart.

What does it mean to trust?
Websters says it is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something.
Have you ever done a “trust fall” – where you stand on a ledge and fall backwards, trusting that the people behind you are prepared and able to catch you?
Can you picture yourself falling backwards into God’s arms?
Do you have a confidence that He will catch you every time?
This is trust!

How do we know we can trust God?
He has proven Himself faithful. He is all-knowing. He absolutely knows what is best for us. He has a plan for us.

Share how you have experienced trusting God in your life and how He has proven Himself trustworthy.
