Who Can You Trust?

Once someone betrays my trust, it takes a long time and a lot of care on the offender’s part before I freely trust them again. Today, please consider who you have trusted (family, loved one, authorities, educational system, politicians—okay now I’m just kidding). Who has kept their word and who has let you down, or worse yet—betrayed you?

I recently spoke to someone who said, “I used to trust God, but not anymore.” He felt as though God had let him down because things didn’t go right in his life. I am certain this man is not alone in his assumptions about God’s responsibility to humans. Unfortunately, it is a naïve assumption that concludes that God is required to make us happy or keep our life pleasant.

As I consider all of the various people and entities in my life, there is only one with a proven track record for always keeping his word and his promises. That one would be God.

Before you click the red X and close this window, consider what you know about God personally and from independent research. If you’ve not read His words (the Bible) for yourself, you’re being cheated. He does not promise life to be a bed of roses and free from trouble. In fact, those whose stories are captured on the pages of Scripture reveal just the opposite. However, throughout 6000 years of recorded history, God has kept his word. He does not change. He is trustworthy.

Who can you trust? You can trust God through Jesus Christ his son.
