How To Trust - Trust God, Not Man

Psalms 118:8. The Bible has good advice on how to trust someone. The short answer is love people, but trust no one except God. If you think about it, trust is all centered on the likelihood that someone will fulfill a promise. Examples of promises are: "I will never lie to you", "I will always love you", "I will always be there for you". Most people when they make these promises have every intention of fulfilling these promises, but the problem is that they do not have absolute control over future events.

For some people, they do fulfill most of their promises. This could be because they do not make many promises or God has blessed them to fulfill their promises. Psalms 118:8, says "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man". This is because God fulfills all of His promises, His Word. By His nature God cannot lie. When God makes a promise, it is done. He is the only person that has the capability to fulfill all His promises. Better yet his promises are supernatural in that if He says it, it is done. To receive God's promises all we have to do is put our trust in God above all other persons and things.
