How Can We Trust God?

How do we know we can trust someone?   We observe their behavior.  Are they kind, loving and considerate of others?  Do they take the time to listen to you and communicate with you?  Are they honest, reliable and keep their promises? Trustworthy people have certain characteristics.  In order to earn trust,  you must become trustworthy.

When you have trust in a relationship, you know that relationship is secure and solid because it is built on trust. When you don't have trust, you live in insecurity because you never know  if you can count on that person.No matter how sincere and well intentioned people are they will fail you at some point but there is one who never will.

The word of God declares that there is only one that you can depend on fully. You can trust His behavior because He displayed love in action by willingly shedding His precious blood so that you may have eternal life. He is the best communicator. He knows your very thoughts and beckons you to come to communicate with Him in prayer. He is the best listener. He is reliable. The bible declares that He will never leave you or forsake you. He is with you always. He is honest, never wavering in His commitment to you and He keeps His promises.

Jesus Christ has proven over and over again that He can be trusted. Look over at your life. He has been there in the mountain tops and in the valleys. He is a loyal God who can be trusted at all times. It is the essence of who He is. That is why He shows unfailing love and faithfulness, no matter how much you disappoint him when you step out of His will for your life because it hurts you and keeps you from experiencing His best for you.  God loves you no matter what.  You can count on that!
