Where is your Trust? Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock. – Isaiah 26:4 Humans are fickle. We build our houses in places we know aren’t safe. We do it because we’re enticed by the beauty of the land, only to regret our decision when a natural disaster hits. We do the same with our faith. Isaiah tells us to “Trust in the Lord always…”, but we know that this implicit trust is hard…
