What
mental images does the word trust
bring to mind? For some, the word trust creates pictures of a mother lovingly
nurturing her baby. For others, trust conveys a sense of safety and security. Is
it easy to trust those with whom you come into contact each day? Basic trust
begins in infancy and affects every choice throughout life.
In Job 13:15, we're given a model for
trust even when we're pushed to the edge of life itself. "Though He slay
me, yet will I trust Him. I will surely defend my ways to His face." Job
trusted God when he had lost all hope of his life improving. Basic trust helps
us survive hard times, when cruel disappointments
have cut to the bone.
Making
choices in difficult times, whether major or minor, can be carried out with
courage by anchoring your faith in Christ Jesus. Basic trust and faith believe that
God is your resource even if everything seems out of control. Job knew in whom
he believed; he trusted God's faithfulness. God offers this assurance to you.
