Trust

What is it that I and others trust in? Do we trust in the power of money? Do we trust in the power that we think money will provide us with? Do we desire the power we think money will provide? Recent economic circumstances have reduced fortunes great and small to shadows of their former glory. The answer is clear, wealth alone does not last and cannot be relied upon or trusted in.

Do we trust in our government and elected officials? This too seems to be folly, our leaders are no different from us. Vanity and ego's get in the way of potential, theirs and mine. We are more like than unlike, that makes trust tough. What then, is left to trust in? For me it's not what is left to trust in, it is who is left to trust in.

God is who he says he is. "I am who am." God does what he says he will do. God calls us to him. Do we listen for his voice, can we recognize his voice?

The Pharisees and Sadducee's were amazed by Jesus. They marvelled at his teachings and miracles. After they marvelled, scriptures tell us they left him and went away. (Mt 22:22) It's possible to marvel at Christ without following him. It's also possible to marvel and follow after him, trust this truth.
