Godly Trust in a Faithless World

Godly Trust (1st Part of 8 Laws of Health) Godly Trust:
A few weeks ago my husband and I attended a couples retreat in Lake Mary, Florida. Our pastor presented at one of the sessions and he spoke about how important trust is in our relationships. He summed up how marriage has times of testing and explained how God often allows times of testing for some very good reasons. An obvious one stated by Pastor Mark is, "How can we trust what has not been tested." I have been meditating on that concept and am amazed at how practical and true this concept has been in my life. Trust is the first milestone in human development according to Erikson. We learn to trust when we experience consistency and responsiveness from our caregivers. When you think about it we test things all the time. We like to know if product is reliable before we place our faith in it. Even new foods are offered for taste testing at local supermarkets. Doesn't the scriptures encourage us to, Taste and see that the Lord is good?

Sometimes we trust too quickly, especially when things don't add up and we forget to use our heads. God understands that, and how it takes time to build trust with each of us. He knows how fragile it is and how quickly it falls apart and how difficult the relationship is to rebuild when it is lost. Most of our life is spent rebuilding trust. That is why health is strengthened when we have our trust firmly planted in God. Everything, and everyone is less reliable and subject to change. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb 13:8) He is not a man that he should lie; (Number 23:19, Titus 1:2,Romans 3:4) His promises are true and amen.( 2Cor 1:20) We need to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding, to acknowledge Him in all our ways and He will make our paths straight.

Proverbs 3 (Message version)

5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline; don't sulk under his loving correction. It's the child he loves that God corrects; a father's delight is behind all this.
