The reason why God is trusted so little is because He is so little known. We say of some men, "They are better known than trusted," and if we knew some men more, we should trust them less, but the truth is, God is always trusted as much as He is known, and if we knew Him more, we would trust Him more. Every discovery of God shows something which renders Him more worthy of trust.

Caryl, 1602-1672

Trust in Him ye saints forever,

He is faithful, changing never;

Neither force nor guile can sever

Those He loves from Him. T. K.

“They that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee." Psa. 9:10¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. (Psalm 9:10).
