Considering all the people you know, whom do you trust? What does trust means to you? Someone humorously said, “Trust is giving your debit card along with the pin number to someone you believe would never rip you off.”
Trust is confidence that the ties that bind could never be easily severed. Trust is longed for because it represents a treasure of great value and worth. Accountability cannot be separated from trust, for trust is the strongest motivation for being responsible.
In the Parable of the Pearl of Great Value, Jesus relates how a merchant found the perfect pearl he had pursued for years. He sold his possessions and bought the pearl. This is analogous to taking hold of the Kingdom Of Heaven offered to you at great sacrifice by God. Trust is grasping what may never come your way again.
Trust compels you to tenaciously seize the Kingdom of God, for it is of great value.
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ”He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
~Psalm 91:1-2 New International Version
