Have you ever trusted someone only to discover they were totally unworthy of your trust?
Everyone eventually gets blindsided for being somewhat naive. Failure to pay attention to God’s warning signs gives evidence of false trust.
When a relationship or situation proves painful, what was believed to be trustworthy was based on unrealistic beliefs and the unwillingness to face the truth. Failure to heed warning signs is a failure to be accountable to what God provides.
Accountability depends on confidence that God’s presence will provide strength to overcome whatever must be faced. False trust believes a particular situation is safe regardless of contrary evidence. Accountability is attached to faith that assures you God’s unfailing love is trustworthy for fighting the good fight that must be faced in life.
Now it is
required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. ~1 Corinthians 4:2 New International Version
