Trust

Trust. That word is something I need to do a lot more of. When I say that, I don't mean trusting in people. Who we put our trust in is who we decide to trust with our lives. Can we trust any person with our lives? I see so many of us (maybe its just teenage drama) trust our everything with our "best friend" and what happens the very next day? So-and-so told what's-his-face that he said, she said, gossip. Leading us into a lot of pain and confusion. I never really understood why people put their trust in other people, which is just going to end up a mess. It's like giving away pieces of you and what happens when it goes to the wrong hands? I think it leads a lot of us away from trust all together, thinking that there is no such thing as trust.

I find it very difficult to trust anyone, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing. All I see is we're all people, we mess up, we get hurt - but it's comforting knowing that there is one who will never make you regret your trust in Him. That's the only one I trust. That's the only one who knows the real me, there are no secrets there. I can completely trust in God, I know that anything He tells me is truth, that anything He shows me is real. I can believe anything that comes from Him. Where with people we are constantly on guard. We, I don't want to speak for anyone . . . so this goes for me anyway, are always questioning what people are telling us. Is it true? Is it right or wrong? Should I believe it? Should I trust this person? It's a very hard thing to do and it's something that is always on us even if we do not realize it. But that pressures off if we trust in HaShem!

When I say I don't trust people, I know for everyone of us, including me, that there are people we trust a lot: friends and family, and how can we not! They are around us all the time, some we have grown up with. I trust my family. I trust some of my close friends. But never will I trust anyone of them completely. Thats only for God. Bringing us back to Adam and Chava - who do we trust when there are little lies hidden in the truth, how can we see that? I gave all my trust to God - my whole life, my whole heart, my whole spirit, my whole soul, my whole mind and my whole body. In troubled times it's hard to remember that. We worry about something, over think it when really all we have to do is lay it down before HaShem and TRUST that He will take care of you. It doesn't mean saying "Alright God, I'm not gonna worry about winning the lottery - you'll take care of me! I'll win it!" Well, I'm not complaining if that happened - but no. It means that trusting in Him will give you something else, something more. Relying on our God is giving us knowledge and wisdom not to trust in our selves. When we trust in ourselves or someone else - what is that based on? Nothingness! Just pure emptiness.

Let's remember to trust in God in all things, little or big problems. Whatever it is, just give it to Him, He is in complete control and we can trust Him with everything in our lives. That is indescribable love right there.

Psalm 9:9-10

ADONAI is a stronghold for the oppressed, a tower of strength in times of trouble. Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you have not abandoned those who seek you, ADONAI.
