10/15/10 The Lord is my Trust. Does that make me a trustee? I needed to mull this over as I sipped my morning cuppa---Twinings English Breakfast tea, loose preferred.
Several things came to mind: Is He really my Trust? Does my life show it? What exactly is a trustee anyway?
When I put my trust in the Lord, I became His. He became mine. He was, and is, and will always be my Trust. Others in my life should see this. That’s where the trustee part comes in.- A trustee……carries out the expressed terms (in His word) of the Trust instrument. (God Himself)
- A trustee……is loyal to the Trust.
- A trustee……defends the Trust.
As a trustee blessed with assets and advantages, I need to live well these privileges and administer them for another’s benefit. There are lots of “others” in my life that would benefit from fully knowing my Trust. My prayer today is that others would benefit from seeing me trust in the only One who is trustworthy. I am grateful to be his trustee.
O for grace to trust Him more! ( “ ‘Tis so sweet”)
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. (Psalm 84:12)
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey. (“Trust and Obey”)
