Trust in the Lord–Always!

Trust is a difficult thing to totally grasp. It is earned and not purchased. It takes a very long time to obtain but can be lost in s second. 

A definition of trust is “an assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something, one in which confidence is placed, dependence on something in the future or hope in someone or something that you have been promised.”  

Have you heard the term “I’ve got your back?”  What does that mean?  Well, it should mean that you can totally trust someone to be on the watch for you “just in case!” 

What then does it mean to “trust in the Lord?  Or, trust in Him always?

Some scriptures to consider:
