When Trust Feels Risky, Stay Planted

by Torrie Slaughter

There are moments in the wilderness when the advice sounds practical: Run. Escape. Protect yourself. But Psalm 11 offers a counter-cultural response—In the Lord I take refuge.

Trust isn’t denial. It’s decision.

God doesn’t ask us to ignore danger; He asks us to remember who holds the foundations. Healing happens when our confidence shifts from what we can control to who we can trust.

Jehovah Rophe restores vision by steadying our footing.

Yes, LORD moment:
Where have you been tempted to flee instead of trust?

Action Step:
Pause before making a decision today and ask, “Is this fear—or faith—leading me?”
