A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers at several hundred feet above the ground. He is slowly walking balancing a long stick in his hands. He has his son sitting on his shoulders.
Everyone down were watching him in bated breath and were tensed. He slowly reached the second tower. Everyone clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies.
He asked the crowd “do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?”. The crowd shouted, “Yes, Yes, you can”. Do you trust me he asked? They said yes, yes we are ready to bet on you.
He said okay, can anyone of you sit on my shoulder; I will take you to the other side safely.
Everyone became quiet. There was stunned silence.
Belief is different. Trust is different. For Trust, you need total surrender.
This is what we are lacking towards God in today’s world.
We believe in God. But we don’t trust Him.
🙏
On Trusting…
Trust is a matter of letting go
Letting go is a matter of faith
Faith is a matter of feeling
Feeling is a matter of knowing
Knowing is a matter of awareness
Be aware in trustfulness.
And so it goes…

It is so true that belief and trust are not interchangeable words. You have used an excellent example to show the difference. Before we can trust the Lord, we must first know Him. And to know Him, we must spend time with Him.
