Trust is our one great act. God does everything else, we simply trust and engage with what God has done, is doing and will do for us. Trust is not easy, it does not come naturally and is filled with complications. Trust means letting go of control to some degree. When it comes to trusting God, we are called to trust God in all things which means we let go completely. This is much easier said that done, but I am not always sure we realize the that very essence, the very definition of faith is trust (not belief). It is safe to say that trust is risky, it brings with it some level of risk. That said, if we think about it in terms of the Scripture, theology and the nature of God, is trusting God really a risk? If we know God is for us, is perfect and is sovereign, is trusting God really a risk? I would argue no. Why then is it so hard to trust God?
