Trust is the thing that disappears when fear comes and reappears when courage steps forward. It is the one and only thing that will produce a faith that is stronger than all the lies the world can offer. Trust not in the things that are fading away, but trust in what’s without end. “Trust in the Lord, and do good!” (Ps. 37:4)
Trust is not built by the weak, rather it is proven strong by the weak. Trust will make a lame man see beyond his “I cant’s” and into his “I will.” Trust is what draws him off his mat and into the presence of the healer. Trust does not question. It knows not the answer, but the way. It sees through the muck and the mire into the promised land of God’s eternal salvation. Trust draws us to Him. Trust builds hope. Trust proves faith. Trust lasts forever because who we trust is the One who created time and sustains the now and forever.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Prov. 3:5); for our understanding is a bridge without support over a chasm we alone can’t cross. He can. He did. He will take us in His loving arms, for He is faithful. Trust the Lord. Trust only in the Lord. Trust.
