We take a look at the money in our pockets and it says," In God we trust." Trust Him to do what? Keep us free from invasion? Make us prosperous? Sustain our position of world power and leadership? Revolutionary soldiers used to say,"Trust in God but keep our powder dry". Yet as a nation today, we are much more self-reliant than we are God-reliant.
Here's a direction:"Can you trust God?" There are two ways to look at this question. Can you trust God? That is, is He dependable in times of need? Will He do what He says? Or secondly, we might ask: Can you trust God? Do you have such a relationship with Him and such a confidence in Him that you believe He is with you always even though you do not see any evidence of His presence and His power?
