"Trusting God"

Scripture Reading:
Psalm 91:2 (HCSB) I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Devotional Reading:

Think about all the different people we entrust our lives to. We trust pharmacists (like Steve) to give us the right pills from a prescription we can't read. We trust pilots we don't know to take us to the right destination, believing that they know how to fly that baby exactly where we need to go. As we sit in traffic on the interstate, we trust our lives to engineers and road construction crews, believing the bridges will hold. Yet, people have trouble trusting God. They often say, "I can't see Him." Do we see the engineers who designed the bridge? Do we know the pilots? Not usually. Yet God, our Creator, who loves us more than anyone, who even sacrificed His Son for us to have forgiveness of sin and eternal life, is difficult to trust. It's amazing. It just doesn't make sense to trust imperfect men and not to trust a perfect God.  One of the best analogies I have ever heard is about electricity in your home.  You cannot see it, but you can see it's product, the light is on.  However, if you stick your finger in an electrical outlet, you will certainly feel it.  Isn't the Lord God the same way?  When you trust in Him, you can witness the product of a life surrender in trust, however if you tempt Him, you get a very rude awakening!

Keep the Son in your eyes,
