Non-Trusters

Someone has well said, “We are a generation of non-trusters.” We are taught not to accept anything without solid proof or to trust anyone, even if we know them, without questioning their integrity and being on our guard at all times. Certainly this is a day when on the surface this seems to be sound advice. No one seems to be completely above-board anymore, and honesty seems to be in short supply. However in my opinion this way of thinking has made us a very paranoid and jittery generation.

How good that there is one person and one book that we can trust without question.King Solomon reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart” (Proverbs 3:5). The writer of the 119th Psalm said, “I trust in Thy Word” (Psalm 119:42). The writer of Hebrews states: “It was impossible for God to lie” (Hebrews 6:18). So, we may have to be vigilant and wary when it comes to who we trust and what we read, except when it comes to confidence in the Lord and reading His Word. In that context we don’t want to be a non-truster, we want to be wholehearted trusters.
