And they that know Your name will put their trust in You: for You, Lord, have not forsaken them that seek you. Psalms 9: 10 KJV
Knowledge is the basis for trust, where knowledge is lacking trust is always missing. When you know it, you can trust it. Knowledge therefore is information. What you know is what knowledge is all about. Information is knowledge. What are you well-informed about? If you’re informed about the reckless handling of finances of someone, it becomes practically impossible to trust them with a huge sum of money, because the information about the fellow does not give you the go ahead to trust them in that area. Trust is in phases because information is in bits. The more informed you are, the better advanced your trust becomes. That is why we are encouraged to be consistent in our kingdom service to God. Because what you knew about God yesterday might not be enough to see you through today.
Every day has its own challenge and you need fresh information and a fresh fire that will handle the issue of today. God doesn’t reveal Himself all at once, because He wants you to seek Him daily. Information energizes, it gives you something to talk about and to hold-on to. Decide to know something new every day from the Bible about the character of God. When you know well, your trust will be intact and unshakable. Trust in God will make you seek for His face concerning every matter of your life and that makes God not to forsake you. God never forsakes those who look up to Him.
Today’s thought: “Trust is solidified with the extent of what you know.”
Keynote: Information is the basis for trust. When information is scarce, trust is always weak.
Counsel: Communicate frequently with God and those you are supposed to trust like your spouse. Study the Bible and pray often. Never allow communication to grow cold.
Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus I receive the grace to seek for You daily. Help me to locate the right words that will build up my faith and trust in You. Help me Lord, to love spending time with You. The faithful Lord leads you to the path that gives peace and blesses you!
