Trusting & Trustworthy!
"Daniel was faithful, always
responsible, and completely
trustworthy."
Daniel 6: 4
It’s hard to trust people today, isn’t it?
How many people are frustrated because
of the spouse who was unfaithful, a friend
who disappointed them, a salesman who
was dishonest, or doctors who incorrectly
diagnosed an illness?
We don’t always do a lot about others who are
untrustworthy, but we can do something about
ourselves as we let the Lord do something
in
us. He is utterly trustworthy. Psalm 119:86
says, “All your commands are trustworthy”.
As Christians, we’re to grow in His faithful
love and kindness (Ephesians 4:25-32). A
way that we do this is fostering trust in our
relationships. Kindness begins with a
trustworthy spirit—the willingness to
be honest and
kind.
If you’ve been betrayed, seek to forgive.
In all your dealings, be someone who can
be trusted with the cares, secrets, and
confidences of others.
Ask God to help you grow
in your ability to be trusting
and trusted.
"Among the blessings and enjoyments
of this life, there are few that can be
compared in value to the possession
of a faithful friend."
James C. Gibbons
