The Bond of Trust

The first lesson a baby learns in life is to trust. The bond between a mother and the infant is trust. The baby learns to trust the mother to be there. The cry is heard and mother's loving arms lift the infant for nurture and care. So it is with the bond of trust in God. We trust God in every situation of life.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). None of us can understand all about the greatness of God. Our understanding is limited. Like an infant who does not understand the mother, yet the bond of trust is developed. There is so much that we don't understand about God. When we trust God, we are not leaning on your own understanding.

The bond of trust with God is standing on His word of promise. He is faithful to all of His promises. God who has promised cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Our bond of trust with God is based upon His word of truth found in the Bible. When we trust God, we are trusting His word.

Trust God in all of life's situations. Trust God's word of promise in the Bible. Read the promises. Pray the promises. Trust God to always keep His word of promise in your life. Trust God when you understand and when you don't. The bond of trust with God is in your heart. That bond of trust will sustain you daily.
