For years, I worked with high school students in the context of wanting them to know that Jesus could be a best friend, a confidante, someone they could trust.
Two with whom I worked closely had a dating relationship. I once asked them why they chose to not be sexually active. Their answer startled me, "Because you trust us not to."
Trust--a motivator?
This morning I read 1 Chronicles 5: God answered their prayers because they trusted him.
Trust--a motivator? Even for God?
Do we work harder for, draw closer to, listen carefully to, enjoy the company of people we trust?
When people break our trust, is work required to regain it?
If we are willing to negotiate, work for and recover trust with people, wonder why we choose so often to not trust God.
If He is motivated by my trust in Him to consider my prayers, I'm going to include trust in Him as a part of my daily regimen. That trust is surely my motivator.
