Has God made it possible to measure or define trust in different situations? Common sense testifies that trust has many variables. When considering the emotional and intellectual components of a situation, the worthiness of trust can be evaluated.
Are we accountable to those who think they are worthy of our trust? We’re accustomed to believing others should be accountable to us when we extend the gift of trust to them. Accountability is confirmed when we stand by our word.
Human beings need and want to trust in relationships, political systems, and God. Job 8:14-19 reminds us of the reality of false trust, which is like shallow soil that starves the plants. Sadly, each person has experienced false trust. However, when compared to faith and trust anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ, His promises are dependable, solid, and trustworthy.
Give yourself to the Lord, trust in him, and he will help you; he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun. Be patient and wait for the Lord to act.
~Psalm 37:5-7 Good News Bible
