At this week's dorm family time we talked about trust. Trust in our friends was put to the test when a group of friends was required to catch a falling dorm-mate from a ladder. The students were hesitant at first, but soon many wanted to test their trust.
After the exercise, a question was posed to the group. "You are willing to trust your friends a lot, even with your life and physical well-being, but how much are you willing to trust God?" The room got silent as students pondered this question, most realizing that they trust the God who created the universe, who became flesh to die for us, very little compared with friends standing behind them as they fall from a ladder.
Many students are currently working through big life decisions. Pursue a path of full-time ministry after college or return to their hometown to help with the family business? Go to Discipleship Training School or get a "normal job"? Become staff at the dorm for a few years or study for a higher degree at a university? Trusting the Lord with their future and to guide them through the decision making process can be challenging, but always produces the best results.
