Trust

Have you ever thought of the meaning behind the word TRUST? We trust people with certain things and not with other things. We trust how many drivers on the road each an every day with our own lives, lets face it any person in any car could try and hit you, you trust they won't, yet we have trouble trusting a child at times. We trust pilots to fly us around and stay at a certain altitude based on a computer, how many times have you had computer troubles, yet you trust computers to keep a plane in the air. We trust telling people that are close to us our struggles in life, our down days yet we don't trust them with telling our financial struggles or joys for that matter. We trust an invisible God with our eternal destiny. We live each day trusting that, as we accept Jesus as our savior we will be in heaven some day dancing with Jesus, yet we struggle to trust God with our day to day agenda. We struggle to trust God with our finances, our marriages, our children, our day to day activities, we can accept eternal life and not trust our children, as we work so hard to protect them, our checkbook as we work so hard to keep it up and make "x" amount of money, our marriage. When was the last time we prayed together, not for meal or just whatever. But literally stopped and prayed as husband and wife? Trust, an easy word to define and understand maybe a harder word to live. I heard yesterday that if you make more than $32,000 a year you are in the richest 5% of the world. I also heard that if you have food, clothing and shelter everyday you are wealthier than 75% of this world population. Do you trust? why do you trust in? what do you trust in? have you seen God work a miracle in your life because you trusted in him? Trust who?
