Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:10
I was thinking a lot about trust this morning, sometimes it's so hard to trust or entrust yourself and your well-being to others. The fear of being hurt or let down is so great.. I'm sure everyone has experienced this at least once in their lives and you know it's a particularly difficult pain to get over. Maybe that's why God makes it so clear in his word that we can trust him. He will never betray our trust.. we can entrust ourselves to him fully and he will never let us down! That is so reassuring because I know a key thing for me in relationships is trust.. if I can't trust someone I can never share myself with them. I think that I have taken the thought that God is completely trustworthy for granted and not fully grasped just what that says about his character.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
Psalm 52:8
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Pslam 62:8
