Have you ever had someone say to you: “Trust me”? What’s your initial reaction? I may be a little cynical, but my first reaction is, “Yeah…right. Not gonna happen pal.”

That is, unless I really, really, really trust that person. It’s just that most people have a way of letting us down…often when they are trying their darnedest not to. We’re human. We fail. We’re frail. We kinda suck.

But there is someone we can trust 100%. He never lets us down. He never fails. He’s strong enough to lean on. He definitely does NOT suck. And He tells us to trust Him…

Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me.
(John 14:1, NLT)

I confess that too often I trust in myself or others to try and get me through. Sometimes I even try and let God be my assistant and/or guide to help me through  life. But I got a reminder this morning that this isn’t enough…Jesus doesn’t want to just be our “copilot”…He wants to be the pilot that takes us where we need to go:

Do you see Jesus as someone who has come along to assist you? Or do you rely on His dwelling in your heart? He is not just your example or your copilot. He is the substance of your life. You cannot know the Father, and you cannot get to heaven, with Him only showing you how to get there. He must take you there. Having been born of His Spirit, we must let His Spirit actually live in us. (Walk With God, page 224).

Yep, that’ll preach…
