In GOD we Trust . . .

Trust . . . mentioned 134 times in the King James Version of the Bible and 147 times in the Revised Standard Version Bible. 

It has been said that the Bible was not written "to" us . . . but "for" us. I believe that to be true.  There is a big difference in "to" and "for" us!!  

The definition of "to" is:
1.  expressing motion in the direction of (a particular       location). "walking  down to the mall"
2.  identifying the person or thing affected.  "you were terribly unkind to her"

The definition of "for" is:

1.  with the object or purpose of: to run for exercise.
2.  intended to belong to,or be used in connection with:
  equipment for the army; a closet for dishes.
3.  suiting the purposes or needs of: medicine for the aged.
4. in order to obtain, gain, or acquire: a suit for alimony; to work for wages.
5. (used to express a wish, as of something to be 
experienced or obtained)

Here are just a few of the verses from the Bible on "Trust" and "Trusting." As you can see trust, trusting, and trustworthy all go hand in hand and make for a much more secure life to live.  We CAN put all of our trust in the One who knows everything about us and the One that cares all about us!  

Enjoy and find strength and courage in these "trustworthy" verses . . .
"For where your treasure is there is your heart. Trust in the lord with all your heart . . . lean not to your own understanding."   - Deuteronomy 1:30-33
The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place." In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
