1 Only Trust!
They that know Thy Name will put their trust in Thee.
Psalm 9:10.
God has never asked but one thing of a human being since the world began; and that is, THAT WE SHOULD TRUST HIM.
He does not ask that we should understand Him, or explain Him, or vindicate Him, or anything else but this,
that we shall have confidence in our Maker.
A person's duty to God is summed up in this: Have faith in God.
In this single demand, God asks only what is in every person's power, and a simple quality that is demanded in every sphere of life. But in it He asks that which it is most difficult to give, and most precious to possess.
Faith lies at the foundation of all our life. Every person lives by faith. The human race holds together by a huge system of mutual trust.
We take our journeys on trust. We trust the clerks, porters, drivers, guards, pilots, engineers, and a whole host of other people we have never seen, every time we travel.
If we waited till we had proved that there was neither conspiracy, treachery, nor fatal flaw in the whole system, we should never start.
We never take a meal without great demands being made upon our faith. We are never sure that somebody may have poisoned our food! We eat in faith. At every turn and in every act we are called upon to trust.
