Psalm 33:20-22 NLT
Relationships take time. Would you agree that while there are those with whom we adopt a 'wait and see' attitude, there are also those we know almost immediately will be a good relationship even though we may not yet have the proof - the value, quality, or truth of it that can only be judged based on direct experience with interaction - learned and earned when given the time. We hope that both will be good. Only time will tell.

We hope that both will be good. Only time will tell.
However, our faith-based relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit should be different. Anything we know about our Triune God to begin with is based on His Word. God has given us all a measure of faith - are we using it to believe God is who He says He is? Have we chosen Him as our firm foundation? Are we using that faith to build the strength of our hope in Christ? Are we faithful to God?
As our understanding and knowledge of God deepen, we are strengthened to know He is a safe place. A sure place. We are confident that our hope is placed in the Right Place. We don't have to wait and see. We know.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for Your faithfulness and for being trustworthy beyond the shadow of a doubt. Thank You for giving us the foundation of faith to know we are safe and secure in You. Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in You alone. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
