Topic: TRUST (07/21/16)
When one stops and thinks about trust, I think it overwhelms the human mind from a standpoint that we use it in practically every action and decision we undertake on a daily basis. Just take a look at a typical day for the common blue-collar worker from morning until night falls. How is trust formed and why do we need the ability to trust in others, and trust certain realities about our known planet? We trust the sun to rise and set every day and night. We trust that when we get in our car to go to work that our car will get us to our destination without any shortfall or complication. We trust unseen things like the air we breathe and the unseen gravity that keeps us from floating away into space. These are monumental facts that we live with every day and we put our faith in every day in order to accept the same events critical to human life will continue to flourish every day. Trust is the ability to accept things the way they are and to accept that our welfare is going to turn out ok every day. The critical question that reveals the importance of trust is when you ask yourself how your life will change if you do not have trust in anything.
When it comes to trust as a Christian however, it is rather easy to understand where trust comes from and why. Our trust comes from God, and his existence, and ability to maintain and uphold our universe, and this planet to support and create life. When you trust in our maker, trust takes on a whole new paradigm. For with God, our very essence and well- being is perfect as our God is the giver of all we see around us and our life itself. When you realize in Genesis chapter 1 that there was a beginning and God has revealed himself in such a way that he brought the beginning with details of how he created life and in a specific order. The notion in scripture that we are made in the image of a loving and supernatural God is enough reason to trust in him for all we need. But without faith, there is no trust in God. God has made us in his image and therefore we have a moral compass to know what is right and what is wrong. We test these parameters every day in society. These realities are testable and it just so happens that while testing, we come to realize that what God commands us is good for us and the world we live in. God demands that we test scripture and that the scriptures are testable and when tested, they stand the test of time. Finally, God is not capable of changing. He is true to himself and never breaks his promises. These are measurable results we see as believers and can trust them beyond a shadow of a doubt.
