TRUST IN THE LORD.

Friday, 27 October 2023 Today’s Word of Hope:Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10 (NIV) A trusting person is one who has faith and confidence in others, willingly placing reliance on their character, actions, and words. He demonstrates vulnerability and openness, believing in the goodwill and honesty of others. They foster strong and meaningful relationships built on mutual trust, creating an atmosphere of safety and support. Doubting is the opposite of trusting. Some people do not believe anyone and are always critical of others. In today’s world, it is challenging to believe others because the amount of manipulation for selfish gains is on the rise. However, we should be prepared to take risks to some extent, at least by trusting others, especially strangers. ‘Trusting’ builds relationships and is mutually beneficial. It helps in constructive engagements and is vital for growth. So, the essence of this character is to stop being too critical and doubtful of others and start trusting people. Trust in the Lord and do not rely on your own understanding, says the Holy Bible. When you trust God, He can help you with discernment. This will help you identify the attitudes of others and start trusting them accordingly, which will eventually build them up. They will trust your leadership and show loyalty to you, resulting in mutual support and benefits. Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me discern and trust others. Amen
