Deepest Trust

How do you develop trust? Trust is such a rare commodity in America. Who do you really trust today? The person that most Americans trust in is themselves - the only one that will "never fail". What do you do when you have exhausted all of your own possible solutions to your situation and there are no more human ideas? Who do you trust? Have you been there? I'm not talking about ignoring our responcibility to work out every possible solution to our various life situations - to work at any and all opportunity that is before us. But what do you do when every door seems to be closed? Trust!

This is the place where God forges deepest trust in Him for do we really trust in an all powerful God when we are able to accomplish God given goals in our own strength? When we come to the end of ourselves - this is the anvil that trust is forged upon. When there is no safety net - we learn to rely on the Almighty who never fails. This is the place where no human can recieve any glory or praise because no human can provide the answer. This is the place where all Glory goes to our Faithful and Almighty God. Trust is forged when the moment may seem the most bleak and empty.

Psalms 22:4 say's, "In you our Fathers put their trust, they trusted in you and You delivered them..." That they were "delivered" means that they were in a place of great difficulty - not in a moment of peace. They trusted in the moment of difficulty when there were no other options. They trusted.

You may be in a place of great difficulty today. Your options are gone. This is the place of the miraculous - where God alone will recieve the Glory before men and women. I encourage you to place your trust - your hope - in an unfailing Father who will deliver you.

Peace
