Watching this tree service worker high in a tree made me think about how much we trust things in our daily lives. This person trusts the bucket lift to get him unnaturally high up to do his work.
It makes me think about trusting in God. Can we trust a little or a lot?
For the king trusts in the Lord;
through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken.
Psalm 21:7
We can learn from other people’s examples. I like this verse because it talks about trusting in God’s love.
As with trusting anything, we can approach it with thoughtfulness and care. The tree service worker uses his equipment carefully. In the same way we can study God’s word to understand his love and care. With the right kind of trust, God gives us the ability to do more good things than we could do on our own.
