Trust Issues

I have major, MAJOR, trust issues. I have had them my entire life. I have probably mentioned this before but it bears repeating, I cannot remember a single episode that set off my trust issues but I do know I have had them for as long as I can remember.

Maybe it's the fact that I have seen too many instances of people breaking their trust. Maybe it's the fact that I have heard too many people tell one thing just to find out they did something entirely different. Maybe it's the fact that I have had too many people break too many promises to me. Maybe it's the fact that I know my own shortcomings, and I figure most people are just as fallible as I am.Whatever it is, I don't trust a lot of people

Today's word is Job 13:15, NIV, which reads, "Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him; I will surely defend my ways to His face."

Job had been through a lot. He had lost everything, including his health. His "friends" are telling him how sorry he must be, that he must have done something pretty bad to have GOD bring all this upon him. Even his wife was telling Job to just, "curse GOD and die." BUT...

I told you before that I like the BUTs...BUT, Job knew he had been faithful, he knew that GOD had been good to him, he knew that he was no better than anyone else, he knew that it rained on the just and the unjust, he knew that GOD had things under control, he knew that GOD was working things for his good, and he knew that he could trust Him. Do you know that? Do you know that, come what may, you can trust that GOD will bring you through? Job did.

I have major, MAJOR, trust issues. Always have, probably always will. But, even with all my trust issues, I know that I can trust GOD with anything and everything. I pray I can be like Job and say, "Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him!"

Be Blessed,
