Trust Is Developed Through Relationship

Psalms 9:10
Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help.

One of the most key elements of faith that is often overlooked is revealed through the understanding of this simple word, trust. Years ago, a great man of God Dr. Lester Sumrall was asked by a young minister what faith was. Dr. Sumrall looked at the young man and asked him, “How far can you trust God”? When you define what trust is, it is simply another word for faith. It means you are fully convinced.

For example, if someone made you a promise to do something you needed done and you had developed a personal relationship with them having spent quality time with that person, you would have no problem trusting them and could take them at their word. So it is with God. Many struggle in their faith walk because they have not really gotten to know the One who they are to put their trust in. They just know about Him. A loyal follower is one who has made the decision to know God.

The best way to develop this relationship is through daily time in His Word, especially in the New Testament where we learn about our covenant, and about Jesus, and in doing so we can get to know God. Jesus said if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. Whenever you open the Word of God you should treat it as if you just sat down to spend time with Him. God’s Word is God speaking to you. Take the time to develop a genuine relationship with your God through the Word, and you can learn to put your trust in Him, and receive the help He has promised to give you.
