trust

I was thinking about the word "trust" this morning.  Our coins say "In God We Trust".  I was reflecting on how important trust is.  Recently people have lost trust in many formerly trustworthy institutions, like big insurance and banking companies and large manufacturing names, like GM and Ford.  Banks have lost trust in the people and businesses that have borrowed money and are reluctant to loan to others.  When things that have always been dependable suddenly lose their dependability, it is very unsettling.  Because none of us controls our world, we must trust forces that are bigger than we are and that are beyond our control.  Really there are very few things that we can absolutely trust to happen, be there or hold up under every circumstance.  (To be perfectly honest, sometimes we can't even trust ourselves to be or do what we ought).  There really is only one name who can be counted on...who has never let anyone down and who always tells the truth.  I am so glad that our Lord is a rock of reliability.  That's something we all can count on! Psalm 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. blessings, Rob Smith
