Trust

How would you answer the question, “How do you grow your faith?”

Considering the answer to this question in a group discussion recently, one answer was to spend more time with God, both in prayer and his word. Through the course of the discussion, the subject of trust was raised. There was an emphasis on the idea that the more time you spend with someone, the more you trust them. Immediately, my mind jumped to the difference in trusting people and trusting God.

“Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” (Psalm 36:5)

God is ALWAYS trustworthy. People, not so much.

Try spending more time with God.
