TRUST

Hebrews 2:11-18

At times I wonder why God created humans. After all, He knew that He was going to chuck us out of the Garden of Eden. He knew He had to hand us over to sin. He did not stop any bit of our pride to do things our way.

He could, I think, have just shrugged off the whole thing and call it the death of an experiment. But He did not. He loved us, and gave Himself for us. He entrusted His Son and the Salvation Plan to us.

God trusts us. He calls us His children. Instead of harping about our wretched state, Jesus – the Holy One – makes us holy. He is not ashamed to call us His brothers.

Are we willing to trust Him? Why do we hesitate when Jesus knows us – even how we feel? Can we, like Isaiah, choose to say, “I will put my trust in him”? And will we proclaim His name and sing His praises in every circumstance, in spite of the taunts and jeers of other people?

Action:

Look for a Christian whom you respect, and ask them to share an episode of their life where they learnt the hard lesson of Trust – especially “Trust in God”.
