WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TRUST?
To trust in God can be described in several ways.
1. To place our confidence in God. To be confident in God.

4. To trust God is to rely on His character, ability and strength.
5. It is a complete assurance and certainty regarding the character, ability and strength of God.
Trust speaks of confidence, dependence, faith, hope and reliance. The opposite would be doubt, skepticism, suspicion and uncertainty.

e. Fame and Glory – 1 Peter 1:24 ‘All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flower fall…’
