What purpose does genuine trust serve in relationships and every area of life? Trust is the foundation on which governments, societies, work and family life are anchored. Trust is the navigational system that guides us through daily activities.
Think how we trust public agencies to provide electricity and safe water. False trust believes these will never fail. Proverbs 25:14 describes those who deceive as being like clouds that promise needed rain but are empty of moisture.
What purpose does portraying yourself falsely accomplish? Enticing others with false trust may produce momentary gain but predictably end in sorrow. Accountability that’s anchored in trust for God welcomes without hesitation Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, to thoroughly search the heart for falsehood. Peace comes to opening your life to that light.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise. In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid.
~Psalm 56:3-4 New American
Standard Bible
