If we have allowed satan to deceive us into faithlessly building walls because we do not trust one another and can only see the need to protect our territory, we trample underfoot the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is only through His sacrifice and faith that these blessings have been made available to us for sanctified service. We must understand that the god of this world is doing everything he can to destroy the sacred trust and unity of the brethren. Satan is the one driving us not to intimately trust our brethren, accusing them day and night. We must be firmly convicted that each one called now has been blessed and measured together with precious gifts, trusting one another implicitly and explicitly because we trust the Father and His work in us. Our faithful God is watching to see if we are trusting one another, knowing that He will work out our failings if we trust Him enough. Without learning to faithfully trust one another and, by extension, God, in humility, we risk individual failure despite His plan succeeding.

Trust in God is foundational, built on obedience to His Word alone. However, the loss of trust began with distrust of His wisdom and truth in the Garden, as mankind chose to trust satan's word instead, producing the opposite of what was intended. This reversal, where actions cause the opposite effect expected, has led to a world slivered into thousands of pieces of distrust, unable to see the only One who can be totally trusted. God has allowed mankind to teeter on the edge of destruction due to this self-serving broken trust, evident in the prideful and shortsighted decisions of men, such as the nuclear tests in space that disregarded consequences in an attempt to emulate God's protective designs. The brilliant minds of this world, blinded by their own intellect, are hurtling toward disaster, confronted with good and evil but lacking the wisdom to handle it. In contrast, a small group has been placed back into the Garden, so to speak, to learn to walk faithfully, trusting in Him, developing a trustworthy relationship with Him and one another through the gifts of God's Holy Spirit. God's unwavering truth and trustworthiness stand as the ultimate foundation, ensuring that He can always be trusted without exception, while the loss of trust in Him continues to yield destructive consequences in a world full of compromise and untrustworthy choices.

Trust is the cornerstone of eternally peaceful and productive relationships within God's Family. The initial breach of trust by satan, driven by envious and distrustful rebellion against God's sovereign plan, stands as the root of all war that destroys peace and productivity. This example of distrust, in refusing to humbly submit to God's Word, underscores the chaos and destruction that ensue when trust is lost. God provides examples to teach us the necessity of becoming as trustworthy as He is. The story of Hezekiah, a king who trusted God more than any other in Judah's history, reveals both the strength and frailty of human trust. Despite his profound reliance on God, Hezekiah stumbled at times, showing weakness by momentarily failing to trust God's perfect wisdom, as seen in his interactions with the Assyrian king and his exposition of God's wealth to the Babylonians. These lapses, tested by God stepping back, highlight the carnal nature's tendency to falter. Yet, God's reassurance remains steadfast. Even when trust wavers, as with Hezekiah's repentance and return to reliance on God, His protection and blessings are evident, as when Sennacherib's army was defeated without Judah lifting a hand. This illustrates that God can always be trusted to guide and correct those who turn back to Him, even after slipping. As we strive to be trustworthy, we must recognize our own stumbles and the need for repentance. Our ultimate hope lies in Jesus Christ, who will bring us back into line every time we falter, ensuring that our journey toward becoming like Him continues. God has committed His way of life to us for safekeeping, expecting us to learn to live as He does, resting our minds on His integrity and promises with assured expectation.
