Do you trust me now?

You know those old Verizon commercials with the guy walking around saying "Can you hear me now?" and then he walks to another place and says "Can you hear me now?"?

I feel like that's what God is doing with me-- "Do you trust me now?" He gives me good things, and it's easy: "Do you trust me now?" Sure do! Life is good, life is fun: "Do you trust me now?" How could I not?!

Or to bring it more close to home....

I get a job interview with my dream organization.

"Do you trust me now?"

Oh yeah! You are giving me good things!

The interview goes well and the woman says I probably have the job, but I just need to meet the supervisor, which is really just a formality.

"Do you trust me now?"

You betcha; I can see how you're providing for me!

And then I don't hear from the supervisor.

"Do you trust me now?"

Yes... there's still time for him to call me.

And then it's Monday, and there still hasn't been a phone call. So I call the woman who interviewed me, only to learn that they filled the position with someone "already in the system."

"Do you trust me now? Will you trust me when I don't act according to your plan for your life?"

I think so. But I really wish you would show me the "why" of all of this; it just doesn't add up.

"Do you trust me now?"

I'm trying.

"Do you trust me now?"

I do.... but my faith isn't strong. Help my unbelief.
