Your relationship with God is based upon trust. When you trust God, you cannot always depend on your own understanding. We simply don't understand all the ways of God. Trusting God is depending upon Him to help you and direct you. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). Our understanding of God is limited. So, trust God when you understand, and when you don't.
Every relationship in life is built upon trust. A personal relationship with God is trusting Him, because He is trustworthy. Believing His word is trusting God. Be willing to trust God in all your circumstances. "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust" (Psalm 91:2).
Trust God by trusting His promises. The Bible gives you the written promises of God. Trust the promises of God. He is the Promise-Keeper. His word of promise is the foundation of your faith. Trust God through every situation of life. Trusting God is believing His word of promise.
A child does not understand everything about his parents, yet that child is capable of trusting them. So it is in our relationship with God. He certainly does not expect us to understand all about Him, but He does expect us to trust Him in all circumstances. Trust God to direct your paths.
