<h1>Why Trusting God Is the Answer</h1>

<article>
  <p class="lead dropcap">It is wise to trust God because His character is perfectly trustworthy. Unlike human beings, who change, fail, or disappoint, God never lies, never wavers, and never acts outside of His perfect goodness. He is unchanging in nature and infinite in wisdom. The foundation of faith is not built upon shifting emotions or human logic—it rests upon the eternal nature of a God who cannot fail.</p>

<h2>The Nature of God’s Trustworthiness</h2>
  <p>God is not merely reliable because He chooses to be; He is reliable because His very essence is truth and faithfulness. The Bible declares, “God is not a man, that He should lie” (Numbers 23:19). Every word He speaks is backed by His unchanging nature. We can trust Him because He has never once gone back on His promises.</p>

<p>He is:</p>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>All-knowing</strong> – God sees the whole picture, not just the fragment we perceive. He knows the past that shaped us, the present that confuses us, and the future that awaits us. When He calls us to trust Him, it’s not blind faith—it’s confident faith in His perfect perspective.</li>
    <li><strong>All-powerful</strong> – What we see as impossible, He sees as already accomplished. No circumstance, no failure, no storm is beyond His control. The same God who spoke the universe into existence can speak peace into the chaos of your life.</li>
    <li><strong>Faithful and loving</strong> – His mercy does not fail, and His love does not fade with time or circumstance. Even when we are faithless, He remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). His love is not transactional—it is unconditional and unbreakable.</li>
    <li><strong>Holy and just</strong> – He always does what is right, even when we cannot see how it could possibly work for good. His justice may seem delayed, but it is never denied. One day, every wrong will be made right under His righteous rule.</li>
  </ul>

<h2>The Peace That Comes from Trusting Him</h2>
  <p>When we put our trust in God, we are resting in the One who holds all wisdom, power, and love. Trusting Him does not mean that life will be free from difficulties; it means we have an unshakable foundation in the midst of them. The storms may come, but the house built upon the Rock will not fall.</p>

<p>Where people may falter, God remains steady. Where we see only confusion, He sees the end from the beginning. Trusting Him allows us to release our tight grip on control, anxiety, and fear. It frees us to live in peace, knowing that our lives are in the hands of the One who knows best.</p>

<div class="scripture">“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.”<span class="ref">— John 14:27</span></div>
  <p>The peace He offers is not the absence of trouble—it is the presence of divine assurance amid the storm.</p>

<h2>A Personal Call to Trust</h2>
  <p>Every human heart longs for something or someone to rely on. We try to find security in relationships, success, or wealth, but all of these things eventually fail us. Only God offers a trust that cannot be broken.</p>

<p>Ultimately, trusting God is the answer because He alone is worthy of our trust. Every other foundation crumbles, but He is the Rock that cannot be moved. The cross of Christ proves His trustworthiness—He loved us enough to bear our sins, and His resurrection proves He has the power to keep His promises.</p>

<p>So, where will you place your trust? In yourself, your circumstances, or the One who holds eternity in His hands?</p>

<p>Build your life on Him today. Place your trust in Christ, the sure foundation, and find the peace, hope, and eternal security that only He can give.</p>
