Trust Me with every fiber of your being! What I can accomplish in and
through you is proportional to how much you depend on Me. One aspect of
this is the degree to which you trust Me in a crisis or major decision.
Some people fail miserably here, while others are at their best in
tough times.
Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in Me. People who rely on Me in the midst of adversity may forget about Me when life is flowing smoothly. Difficult times can jolt you into awareness of your need for Me, whereas smooth sailing can lull you into the stupor of self-sufficiency.
I care as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices, but the One who is always beside you sees everything—and rejoices. Consistently trusting in Me is vital to flourishing in My Presence.
Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Psalm 40:4
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3–4
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8
