Trustworthy

Psalm 111: 7

⁷ The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy...

In 1976, Gallup says that about 45 percent of Americans trusted the Bible as the literal word for word, Word of God.

In 2015, that number fell to 28 percent. So that’s less than one third (1/3^rd) of all Americans.

It would appear we have a trust problem in our current culture.

Do people trust more in God, when His Word doesn’t bring about conviction?

I asked my wife last night if she felt I was...“trustworthy”.

After a few seconds of thoughtful consideration, she assured me with answering... “Yes!”

Both U.S. Presidential candidates seem to have trustworthiness issues.

Only 8% of Congressional lawmakers are trusted. At least God has a higher trustworthy rating than Congress does.

Actually, pharmacists are now trusted more than a person’s Pastor.

I wonder if that’s because we can get almost any drug of choice now days, with a prescription?

Maybe Pastor’s would be trusted more, if they handed out medications?

I heard someone recently say... “The church is consumed with behavior, and not Jesus.” Is that the reason people don’t trust churches?

I wonder if Jesus was consumed with behavior, or holiness when He met the adulterous woman?

Weren’t His parting words to her... “Go, and sin no more.” Did Jesus want a behavioral change, or a heart change...or both? Didn’t He want her to trust Him?

Could it be that we’re trusting in things/people, that aren’t very trustworthy?

Maybe we need to trust in the works of His hands, and not the works of man’s hands. By the way...you can trust Him...
