Who Do We Trust?

 There is a saying hindsight is 20/20. Who do we trust? Looking back to a time when my kids were little, we had babysitters from the older kids at our church. We are of the same group, we are special. We have a corner on the gospel market. Sorry for the sarcasm.  I look back and we heard stories of how this babysitter held our little girl out the window upside down and the horror to think what would have happened to our little girl if the babysitter had dropped her on her head. Or somehow a tape recorder had been recording and we heard this babysitter trying to get our two kids to fight each other. Sometimes you look back and think what did you base that trust on? The fact that we went to the same church. We look at our world today and we trust politicians that tell us raising the minimum wage will help the poor, while an economist that studies these things tells us the exact opposite. Who do we trust? The lying politician.  We listen to the news whose stories have been debunked again and again, but I hear it on the news it must be true. Who do we trust and why? What is that trust based on? A political ideology? That makes about as much sense as trusting that babysitter with our kids because she went to the same church. I hate to even listen to the news anymore. It is politically motivated and not based on truth. We are bombarded day after day with lies and half-truths and I think sometimes we believe them.  Who do we trust? I think God is the only one we can really trust. Do we seek him for guidance? Do we make our decisions based on his truths or on what we want or want to believe? I think I am asking some thought-provoking questions, perhaps you can look at examples from your life and ask the same question, who do we trust and why? God bless, LVZ.
