Madalas nating napakikinggan ang mga katagang “Trust in God” “Magtiwala sa Diyos!” “Tiwala lang sa taas”. Do we ever ask ourselves: AM I TRUSTWORTHY?
We don’t need to question God kung trustworthy ba Siya. Our God is no doubt, 100% trustworthy. He is God, He never fails, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He cannot contradict who He is. He is sovereign.
What about us? God is expecting each one of us to be trustworthy. That’s why the Apostle Paul said in 1 Timothy 1:12-14 “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.”
AREAS IN OUR LIFE WHERE WE NEED TO BE TRUSTWORTHY:
1. In God’s gifts and given abilities (James 1:17, Luke 16:1-12, Romans 12:6-8, 1 Peter 4:10-11)
2. In relationships such as:
- in FRIENDSHIP(David and Ahithophel, Psalm 55:12-14)
- in BRETHREN (Judas Iscariot, Matthew 26:14-16)
- in MARRIAGE (Hebrews 13:4)
- in FAMILY (Colossians 3:20-21)
- in WORK/BUSINESS/SCHOOL (Colossians 3:23-24)
3. In time (Matthew 6:33, Luke 12:42-46, Ephesians 5:16-17)
4. In Gospel (Romans 10:13-15, Matthew 28:19-20)
Trust is hard to build, easy to break.
Reputation is what others see you do, CHARACTER is what you do WHEN THERE’S NO ONE WATCHING. Am I trustworthy?
