Who Ya Gonna Trust?

Psalm 56:3-4 ESV

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

There is a story that a man was telling his friends about a family of writers that nobody trusted. He said: “I come from a family of writers.

• ·         My sister wrote books that no one would read.
• ·         My brother wrote songs that no one would sing.
• ·         My mother wrote play that no one would watch,
• ·         And my father wrote checks that no one would cash.”

Beloved as we gather this week and we look to all of the relationships that we have built, can we honestly say that those that we are in relationship with us, trust us? Are we true to the conversations that we have had and the promises we have made?

When we reverse this question, we can also ask ourselves the question: “do we trust those that we are in relationship as to keep their words and promises to us?

Trust is an important trait in any relationship and this is what the psalmist is speaking about this morning. When it comes down to it and trust is a diminished feeling within us and others, God is the one true trust keeper that we can truly depend on.

My prayer for you this week is that you live your lives as a people that others can trust. Live in the knowledge that God the creator of trust is the definition of trust and the one who calms all our fears and all our doubts.

This is the day that the Lord has made.
