““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”” -Jeremiah 17:7-8

Why should we trust in God? Can we really trust in God? Is the Lord really faithful? It is one thing to hear of His works in the Bible, and another to wrestle with trust in our own lives. Often we may wish that we got to know Jesus physically, during his time on earth. Or to see what others saw, walk where they walked, witness what they witnessed.

Even so, we are not without reason to trust. We live on this side of the cross, on this side of the Resurrection. The side of victory! We don’t have to live in anxiety or impatience to see how or if God will fulfill His promises; we can look back and know that He is profoundly faithful to His people. What He has done is not uncertain, nor unfinished.

Because of this, we are not stepping into the unknown when we trust Him. We are entrusting ourselves to the One who has already proven faithful, again and again. God’s character does not change, He does not falter on His word. His previous work is the foundation for what we trust Him to do now. We are quick to place confidence in what we can see and touch, what we can control. Yet it is like a vapor: comes quickly and fades just as fast. It shifts and swirls, impossible to grasp or hold. What is uncertain cannot be trusted, and what fails cannot sustain. To trust in what is broken is to share in its weakness.

The question is not whether God is faithful, but whether we will decide to trust Him in everything.
