Who do you trust?

I guess I'm pretty dumb.

I trust STUFF, blindly, to my downfall.

It's not that I need to be compulsive and read all of the ingredients on the menu before I eat, or go back and watch the cook preparing my meal, and have it tested for bacteria or sanitation, because I wouldn't make many friends that way (and I'd probably stop eating out!). I just show up, order the chicken parm, and eat it after a thankful prayer. IDIOT!

But isn't it a little scary to see how much we blindly trust the car manufacturers to construct a safe vehicle, safe brakes, safe seatbelts, safe airbags, etc?

What about your hot water heater? When you woke up this morning, did you jump in the shower and constantly wonder if suddenly skin-burning hot water would come surging through the shower head? I sure hope not.

So if I trust these fallible, easily shaken and problematic things in my life, why do I find trusting God to be a constant struggle?

Psalm 20 says 'some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord". I have put too much trust in my chariot, my ability, the things in my life and God is reminding me minute by minute to place my faith in Him.

So who do you trust? I hope you will never look at a seatbelt or showerhead, or for that case, your God, the same way again.
