Trust

This was for youth group on Friday, May 4:

First we did trust walks. It's a great activity to build trust within any group. We sure had some interesting results! What you do is pair people up and put a blindfold on a person in each pair. The partner who can see has to lead the other person, but they cannot touch the other person to guide them. They can only use their voice. First, I had the youth pick their own partners, then I picked new partners that they were not as familiar with.

Questions: How did it feel to be led? Was it scary at all?
How about when you led? Did you feel a sense of power?
How was it different with people you did not know as well?

Do you trust God with what happens in your life? Can God trust you?
Both are important! We read I Corinthians 4:1-4 and Proverbs 3:5

"1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. 2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me." I Corinthians 4:1-4

"Trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

I really believe those last 2 questions are ones we need to be asking on a consistent basis. Based on these 2 scriptures, our relationship with God is like that with other humans in regards to trust. It is a 2-way street. I pray for all of us to be trustworthy and to trust in the Lord.
