Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Trust.
It’s a word that brings different things to mind for each of us. We each have had our own experiences with trust; some good, some not so good.
For most (if not all) of us, our ability to trust has been tainted, stained by our not-so-good experiences where our trust has been broken by people.
Once trust is broken, it’s a hard thing to repair. And when it’s been repaired, it might not ever be the same as it was before it was betrayed.
But there is One who we can always trust. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will never betray us.
We may not always understand why some things happen, or why things happen the way they do. But as we learn to trust Him, we will be less concerned with those things and more concerned with how we can draw even closer to Him and understand Him, and His ways, better.
Learning to trust God explicitly takes time, and it takes effort. It doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t happen just because we want it to.
It happens when we deliberately seek Him, pursue Him and determine in our hearts that He is who He says He is. End of story.
So let’s keep pursuing Him and seeking Him diligently. For He is a rewarder of those who do so.
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
