Trust issues 😔✨

One of the biggest fears that most people have is being made a fool. ✨

They are afraid to trust others because they don’t want that trust to be misplaced or misused.✨

Often people will speak of having “acquaintances” rather than “friends”.✨

They’re afraid to get too close to anyone or let anyone get close to them because they are afraid that their trust will be betrayed. ✨

Its easy to transfer our feelings about people to our feelings about God. Some so many people are afraid to trust God because they’ve been betrayed by other people.✨

They have major trust issues with everybody and God the Father is certainly not excluded. ✨

David also had a difficult time trusting people. His father-in-law tried to kill him. He was on the run. He had to hide to save his life. Still, he put his trust in God. David put his faith in God. He says here that he has taken refuge in the Lord. He has placed his confidence in the Lord and prays that trust will not be unfounded and make him “ashamed.” David has reached a point where he can trust no one, but he trusts God to deliver him. We can take this to heart, as well. Even when the world has let us down, we can trust in the Lord and he is faithful to deliver us with His righteousness.

Amen 😔✨

Righteousness is one of the chief attributes of God as portrayed in the Hebrew Bible. Its chief meaning concerns ethical conduct (for example, Leviticus 19:36; Deuteronomy 25:1; Psalm 1:6; Proverbs 8:20). In the Book of Job, the title character is introduced to us as a person who is perfect in righteousness.
