Who do you put your trust in? Is trust earned, or is it given?
Now we have all trusted someone, who in turn let us down. Why is that? It is because man is inherently flawed. We can't trust in something that has flaws and expect it to keep perfect trust. That is why God tells us to put our trust in him, "... put your trust in the LORD." -Psalms 4:5 There is a reason We are to put our trust in him, it is because he is the only one who will not let us down. Man brings pain, God brings peace. Have you ever thought about the trust we put in our beds? We just hop on them and sleep without any doubts, but, what if there was a visible flaw in the bed? Would we so readily fall asleep? Probably not. It is the same way with man, but for some reason we still put our trust in man.
It does not matter if we promise something, or we say we will never change, we are not God, we will change, and we will break our promises. Only God is unchanging and capable of not breaking his promises. Name one time where God's character changed, or one time when he broke a promise! You can't!
Before I learned to put my trust in God, I put my trust in man. Thinking that I could trust this person without having to worry about that trust breaking, but it broke. I thought I would never be able to live, because it was so painfully shocking that they had let me down. Why was it so shocking? I knew they weren't perfect, but I expected them to keep their promise, I expected them not to change, but they did. I was crushed, and it still is very painful to think about it. This is why we are told to put our trust in Christ! When we put our trust in Christ, we don't have to worry about broken promises leading to a broken heart. Now I'm not saying trusting in God is always easy, but trusting him will bring peace. We can trust him completely, for he is perfect.
