DO YOU HAVE TRUST ISSUES?

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. (Jude 1:24, 25 NIV) Far too many people today are recovering from some hurt or wound in their past causing them to not trust anyone around them - even those that have proven themselves trustworthy. They try to move forward in life and relationships but are unable to overcome the hurtle of trust that is thrust before them over and over again. As a result - they revert back to some of their old behavior and defense mechanisms that keep them in their protective bubble so they won't be hurt again. In Jude 24 we are presented with an opportunity to put our trust in the one who is ABLE to keep us from stumbling. God is able - think about that for a moment. He doesn't want you to stumble and fall. He doesn't want you to be wounded or hurt. He only wants total victory for you today. But... are you willing to let your guard down and trust Him? Are you willing for Him to take the control of your life - to become the driver in your vehicle? People might have let you down and have hurt you but God will NEVER let you down. You are His child today. Trust Him in His majesty, power, and authority that He will bring you through whatever you are going through today. Remember... God is good and you can trust Hm!
