Trust, as according to the Merriam Dictionary, is the belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. But when you ask someone what they think trust is, the definition varies and is usually applied to relationships. Trust is having someone come home to you every night and wake up to them and have them still love you. Trust is not cheating on a significant other. Trust is telling your parents the truth always and never lie about your where abouts.
Trust is something you have in every single relationship you have. So why wouldn't trust be in your relationship with God? I have struggled with this concept. How could I trust someone that I don't see? Or know exactly what He does for me everyday? I am very oblivious to all things. Literally, I don't get hints. So God's subtle appearance in my life goes right past me. So when bad things happens to me, how am I suppose to trust that God knows what He is doing? When every little thing He has done for me, I am completely unaware of and the suffering I am enduring seems unbearable.
Trusting people is a quality we all need a little work on. Trust the good in people. Trust that when you are having a hard day, or week, or month that God will make it all worth it and show you the purpose of all this suffering.
I am trusting the Lord, starting today. Trusting that when I don't pass a test, or don't get a job that I want, or I struggle to know who I am. That He is there, and that He has a reason for it all.
{Scriptures: Psalms 4:5, Psalms 34:8 and 22, 2 Corinthians 1:9}
