Trusting in God

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust. (Psalm 91:1-2)

To trust someone is not always easy. We often seek to place our trust in people, in friends and relatives; those who are generally closest to us. However there are times when your trust is shattered. When someone breaks your heart, when someone leaves you, or hurts you deeply. You then have a breech of that trust, and it is often very hard to build up that trust again. You are weary that the same thing might happen again; you are hesitant to building up that trust once again.

Nevertheless, any firm relationship must be built upon trust. The good news, however, is that the most important relationship of our lives can be built on trust because the One whom we trust is trustworthy. He is a refuge and fortress, He will not change His promises, but will bring them to fruition. God is faithful; we can trust HIM.

And so we must. For to believe and obey Him is to trust that His Word and promises are sure.

And isn't it such a great comfort that we can have the surety that He will never betray our trust. While friends may forsake and leave us God will remain. He is my refuge and fortress; my God, in Him I will trust!
