One of my first songs to co-write was "Learning to Trust a Trustworthy God." The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 happened shortly after Marty Funderburk and I finished the song... in fact, I'd just started staging it.
One Sunday morning, as I was introducing the song, the thought hit me that maybe one of the reasons Marty and I wrote the song was to remind us all how important it is to continually be longing and learning to trust a God Who is indeed trustworthy.
It's easy to trust God when things are running smoothly, isn't it? In hard times, it's all about building our trust in a God Who can keep us steady, even in a level of peace, when the world around us crashes down. Should we wait until the hard stuff happens to begin trusting? No, of course not! We should purposefully seek His help in building our faith and trust for those future days, believing in His unseen plan and not in the circumstances of today.
