The little thing trust …

Trust is a key topic in our life. We cannot live, when we do not trust. Babies need trust, and they need to rely on their parents. But also later, trust is a key point. How can you do anything, if you do not trust the people around you?

But at the same time, trust can easily be shaken and destroyed. If you trust someone, and he does not behave accordingly, then trust can go away. Relationships which you cannot trust a kind of tricky. You try to be nice and reliable, but you never know what the other person will do.

There are, unfortunately, many bitter roots in the minds and hearts of people today. And where bitter roots grow, people act in a nasty and ignorant way. We can search further for the origin of trustworthyness and the origin of missing trustworthyness. That is an exciting question, telling us a lot about humanity, about who we are!

Trust God! …

**

If you search for someone, who is truely and deeply trustworthy, then the Lord is the person to go to. Only God is trustworthy. In fact, it is highly remarkable that he is - in our world we do not know this deep trustworthyness. When I discovered that God is really there, and that is is much better than anything I ever expected, I was highly surprised … a surprise that still shows its waves today in my life! Psalm 146 summarizes the things in a very concise way:

1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. 2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. 5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. (Psalm 146, 1ff)

So whom can you rely on? Search help from the God of Jacob! He is trustworthy, he will not let you down. (Roland Potthast) ... more texts
