Trusted a Million Times

From: Messages of God's Love: 1959

“Here’s your medicine.” So said Mr. Neal the druggist as he handed me a package. As I paid him I also gave him a little red “Salvation Bible.”

“I don’t think I can trust the Bible,” was the druggist’s comment.

After pausing for a moment I looked up, and asked, “How many packages of medicine have you sold since you first started in the drug business?” He leaned back, expanded his chest, and replied, “Oscar, I have been trusted over a million times.”

Poor foolish man! He had been trusted by his customers a million times, but he was afraid to trust God only once. How much wiser and happier is the simple, trusting soul who turns to the Lord and believes His precious Word!

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Prov. 3:5⁵Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5). Again we read,

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool.” Prov. 28:26²⁶He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. (Proverbs 28:26). But, “Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” Prov. 16:20²⁰He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. (Proverbs 16:20).
