Who Can You Trust?

Prayer – Lord, I think there has to be a level. of trust before someone can love someone else. And, likewise, there has to be love…or at least a relationship with understanding…in order to trust another person. I can trust You…because You love me enough to die for me…and I love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30).  

The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation." Psalm 91:14-16

Meditate on trust.

 

We can trust that the sun will rise and set every day. We can trust that the seasons will change as the earth rotates around the sun. But sometimes it's a creepy world out there. Who can you trust?
