What Is Trust? A word that is often used today Trust is an expression of genuine faith We trust people and things in which we believe It is confidence and reliance that others will do what they say or what we expect from them Trust is shown by our actions What we are willing to commit to those we trust

Things in which People Trust People trust in many different things But Solomon is referring to our greatest trust Which determines our decisions and directs our lives 1. Some trust in themselves - Prov. 28:26 & Lk. 18:9 2. Some trust in other people- II Ki. 18:21 & I Tim. 6:7 3. Others trust in wealth and possessions- Prov. 11:28 Solomon says we should put our trust in God

Trusting in God Involves confidence in His words Relying on His promises Submission to His will and His law Allowing Him to direct our path A complete trust – “with all your heart” (V5) A comprehensive trust- “in all your ways” (V6) Which causes us to commit our life and all we that have to His care- II Tim. 1:12

When It is Easy to Trust in the LORD 1. During good times and favorable circumstances 2. Concerning things that we like to hear That God loves us and cares for us personally That we are part of His family- Eph. 2:19 3.
