First what is trust? Trust is to believe, relie, to presume in a relationship between two parties. You believe that moral, law and ethics are used by the other party. That they are going to honor their words and previous promises.
Would you trust someone of a shady character with your life, money, family etc.? No you won't! Even criminals and people engaging in illegal activities keep an eye on their own people. That is not trust if you have to keep watching the other fellow. In trust action and non action equals the same. When you are trusting, "actions and nonactions speak louder thant words." Based on what you know or think you know about the other party your trust is based on their word, character, moral behavior.
To trust in God you are putting into action your belief on what is written about him in the Bible. You are trusting the words of this Holy book. You trust in God's benevolence, love and forgiveness for the human race. Your trust in God is spiritual, mental and physical. You are showing confidence in the results of your trust in God. This method of trust on an invicible, non proven existance of God as some agnostics and atheist declare is ignorant and self delusional. to believe in a designer and creator is idiocy.
The God in whom I trust is my trustee. He is trustworth. Trust is faith in action that involves a voluntary transfer physical, financial, and intellectual parts of my persona and my life in full.
I am compelled to trust in God because of whom he is. I don't ask for proof of his existance. I believe because, I know that I know he is real.
Trusting God is essential in my life for without it I would be lost. I have chosen to love and trust my god. My relationship with my maker is right and good for me in all aspects of my life. Concerning humans, a violation of my trust in a human beign will bring on doubt and it will always undermine their words. I don't have to worry about that with my creator. He says and does what he says.
