Trust.......

It is interesting to think about all the things we trust in.  We know our car brakes will work because they have every other time we used them.  We believe the light will come on when we turn on the switch that allows electricity to the bulbs.  We know there is day light and moon light.  When we swim in a pool we know we get wet, cool off and will dry off with a towel.  We know that pushing a button on our remote will tell the television to change channels.

Now think more deeply than that.  Without first hand knowledge of these things how do we know all of them will happen?  How do we know that we will not be harmed?  How do we know that if we experience something new what the outcome will be?  Many times we will have to depend on what others tell us.  We will have to have faith.  Even the "faithless" have faith.  Those of you who believe in "nothing" do believe in something.  Call it humanism or scientology.  Yes, you do have faith in something.  Is it too much to stretch your mind to understand that everything came from a spoken word?  Think of how much faith it takes to believe as an inventor that your idea is going to work. 

This is the premise of true trust.  The word trust came from a human describing how God interacts on our behalf.  True trust can expand your knowledge.  True trust can link you with a very strong faith.  Where do you let your faith land?  Is your faith landing where there is no foundation, or have you planted it firmly where it belongs?
