1854) There are times when I have a heart-to-heart talk with my young scholars. One of the subjects we discuss is the issue of trust. I try to help them understand, as much as young children can, that trust is a valuable thing. I tell my students once you lose someone’s trust it is very difficult to get it back.
This discussion reminds me of Psalm 56:3. Here, the Psalmist says, When I am afraid’ I will put my trust in God.
My next thought is, has God ever done anything to damage my trust of him? My honest thought is, there were times when I thought he failed me but as the whole picture took shape, I realized he is still faithful.
Trust is a valuable thing, and we can rejoice that God is truly trustworthy.
