To Know God Is to Trust Him

Commentators unanimously agree that trust in God is not a blind leap but a direct result of knowing His character. The more you understand His nature—as revealed in His various names (like Jehovah-Jireh, 'the Lord will provide') and His mercy in Christ—the more you will see He is worthy of your complete confidence. As one scholar notes, a primary reason people lack trust is that they don't truly know Him.
