To Trust

What does it mean to trust?
Trust is defined by Webster's Dictionary as

Confidence; a reliance or resting of the mind on the integrity, veracity, justice, friendship or other sound principle of another person.


It means to have faith in someone.
It means to believe them even when everything else says not to.
It means that you would let them take the lead and you will follow without question or fear.

that is exactly what Proverbs 3:5&6 tells us to do

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Some times you can't see the end of the path sometimes you are afraid of where it might lead you. Other times it may be a steep path filled with dangerous obstacles, one that is hard to climb. Its scary to leave the safety of the well trod paths -- the ways which everyone uses -- where you never have to fear being alone.

Yet the verse starts with trust in the Lord. Not trust in yourself, not trust in the world, not trust in the paths, not trust in the known, but trust in the LORD.

after a while you'll realize He knows what He's doing.These paths aren't so unused after all.  You're not the only one walking them. there are plenty of other people out there who are using them. you wont be alone because Gods walking them with you. He's been on these paths before. He knows the way, He knows where they'll come out, He knows what foot holds to use and the best route up. He knows that at the other end is a place like you've never imagined. But only He knows the way to them. You have to TRUST that He will guide to the end through the twisting paths and up the steep mountain side.

WILL YOU TRUST THE LORD?
