Those who Trust

It seems as though God has been reminding me of a few things lately. There has been a wave of people that I've been talking with about the issue of trust and I think so many of our day to day questions and struggles come down to that simple question: "Do you trust me?"

I've written three facebook notes about this topic already, (Here are the links if you'd like to read those as well: Do you trust me? -Part One-, Do you trust me? -Part 2-, Do you trust me? -Part 3-) but I must say that God has shed some new light on the topic once again. Whether it's finances, relationships, plans for life, and so on...I keep getting the sense that God is asking us to take a few steps back, take a look at what is currently going on in your life and see where we need to trust. 

Where do you find yourself doubting or questioning God?
Where do you find yourself taking matters into your own hands?
Where do you find your security? Where do you want to find your security?
What is God asking you to trust him with in your life? 

Trust comes down to this...I believe that trust is a hinge to our faith, the very thing that helps us turn corners and come closer or further from God. If we have faith, that will also require something from us...TRUST.

This picture kind of reminds me of what trust might look like...

You see, trust will always take a risk. It'd be safe to say that almost every person alive has been in a situation where someone or something could not be trusted. The fact of the matter is, we can't ever fully protect ourselves from being hurt in those moments where we trust someone or something.

Balance Beam- Francis Chan

The scriptures remind us over and over and over again that we were created by a God that is worthy of our trust, can be trusted, wants us...to trust Him. Just like the balance beam, maybe there is something that we are clinging to instead of Christ. 

So if we really step back, do we trust him? Can we trust him with everything?
Remember that God is with you right now, wherever you are as you read this...

Maybe he is asking, "(Insert your name here), do you trust me? I know that you already trust me with ______________, but I want you to completely trust me. That means even trusting me with the one thing that you want to hold on to and take care of without my help. So will you trust me with _____________? Do you trust me completely?" 

So my question for you is this:
What is keeping you from fully trusting God today?


"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."
-Psalm 9:10-

My prayer is that as you take the risk to trust in Him, that God would continue to surprise you with his faithfulness and love. He is so good.
