The Trust Issue pt. 1

I am the leader of a club at school called Alpha Omega. We are sadly coming to an end with our series on love. What does this mean? Well, I am going to talk about trust and specifically trusting God. I would like to get into trusting people but I don't know if there are any Bible verses on it. If you know of any please tell me.

"In God, whose word I praise
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?"
Psalm 56:4

I had never read this Bible verse before today. It is an awesome Bible verse that pretty much says what I want to talk about. In one of my earlier posts I talked about trusting God and how hard it is. Now I want to talk about why should trust God as opposed to trusting people for things.

God is so big and so powerful that we don't have to trust anything else to provide for us. God is that friend who always has your back no matter what. You can call Him at anytime day or night and He will pick up the phone. I'm not talking about a literal phone but I am talking about prayer.

Prayer is pretty much a way to talk to God. God always, always answers prayers just not in ways we see all the time. For example, I know someone who knows someone who asked God to give them something to do. What did God do? He got her pregnant. Normally this would look like coincidence but I think it was God showing His sense of humor.

If you ask God to reveal Himself to you He isn't going to respond with a flash and a bang. He is going to respond with the beauty of the world He created.

The thing that really strikes me about this verse is the last part. There is something about mortal men not being able to even touch me that blows my mind. Sure, you could break my arm but that isn't anything in the sense that God is watching over me.
