Well-Placed Trust

I’ve trusted people and been hurt. What makes trusting God different?

“It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in people. It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” Psalm 118:8-9

“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans and turn their hearts away from the Lord… But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.” Jeremiah 17: 5, 7

God is perfect. While it is good and necessary to trust others, God is the only One you can trust completely. You can have complete assurance that what He says is true and that what He does is reliable. People are not perfect and will sometimes let you down, but God will never fail you.

“God will surely do this for you, for He always does what He says, and He is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9
