Financially speaking, a trust is an arrangement in which property or money is held by one person for the benefit of another. Perhaps this definition takes the pressure off of what it means to trust God.

Make no mistake; Abram and Sarai are 100 years old — too old to have as many children as stars in the sky! Neither of them believes without a single doubt that it will happen. Yet, Abram puts one foot in front of the other and begins the process anyway.

Don’t make trusting God too difficult. God’s redeeming work in our lives doesn’t depend on us believing with absolute certainty that it will happen. It can, however, depend on whether or not we hand our lives over to God anyway, even and especially when we have serious doubts about how things will work out.

How could that kind of trust change your college decision, the job you take, how you pursue your calling, the way you confront the deepest pain in life?

Ultimately, trust is how we act our way into faith, not the other way around.
