Trustworthy
Posted in Ethics, Thom's Articles on January 11th, 2008 7 Comments »
We all have various responsibilities in life. Some of us as: a husband, parent, fellowship coordinator, minister, etc I’ve been asked, questioned, and sometimes even challenged regarding my trustworthiness. I’ve recently begun to contemplate this idea of trustworthiness (in myself and my expectations of it from others) and to that end I have more questions than answers!
For example, in Micah 7.5 I’m instructed “Do not trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a friend. From her who lies in your bosom guard your lips”. And Psalm 146.3 “Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.”. Thankfully I know from Proverbs 3.5,6 that I can “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”.
