We take for granted its value. Nearly every day we are involved with some financial transition, whether great or small. We assume the money we spend, save, and receive has certain value, because its value is an accepted norm in our society. Truth is, it only has worth because of the confidence people place in it.
Trust should be founded upon that which is trustworthy. Would you trust an aircraft to safely transport you to your destination that appears to be leaking fuel and oil on the tarmac, and has been repaired with multiple rolls of duct tape? Of course not. Trust should be placed in that which is trustworthy.
"My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.” (Psalm 62.1-2)
The Psalmist found his Father to be truly trustworthy, and trusted fully in Him. His trust was resolute; it was God ONLY whom he trusted, and ran to as his stronghold. He concluded, “Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God; And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.” (Psalm 62.11-12) The message had been both spoken and verified: God our Father is both powerful and loving, and will deal with each person according to their lifestyle. This is trustworthy truth you can “go to the bank” on.
Where is your trust truly placed? We can quickly and easily say we trust God, as did the Psalmist. But, before we make that hasty assertion, we do well to evaluate the evidence for it. It’s far too easy to misplace trust in other things and people. And, if we honestly can say our trust is misguided and misplaced, there is no better time than now to come to Him who truly is trustworthy. May our confidence and trust be in Him so that we will “not be greatly shaken”.
