"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus..."

just to take Him at His Word; just to rest upon His promise, and to know, Thus saith the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust him more! Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to cease; just from Jesus simply taking life and rest, and joy and peace. I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee, precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; and I know that Thou art with me, wilt be with me to the end." Louisa M. R. Stead, c. 1850-1917

Wikipedia says :Trust is a relationship of reliance. A trusted party is presumed to seek to fulfill policies, ethical codes, law and their previous promises. Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party. Persons engaged in a criminal activity usually trust each other to some extent... Trust is a statement about what is otherwise unknown --

Can you imagine life without a relationship of reliance? I certainly can't.

In these uncertain times of national and international uncertainties to think about what trust means - I am so glad I can sing that hymn with great confidence in my relationship of reliance upon Jesus!

~ To know that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is in control

~ His position is NEVER up for a vote

~ He holds the future of my life and the family and friends I hold dear

~ He cares about all the details of my life

~ He will NEVER leave me or forsake me

~ He loves the WORLD!

My trust in Him is KNOWN by His character because He fulfills His Promises... His Word is our reliance.
