    Preface

    We take a look at the money in our pockets and it says, In God we trust. Trust Him to do what? Keep us free from invasion? Make us prosperous? Sustain our position of world power and leadership? Revolutionary War soldiers used to say, Trust in God but keep your powder dry. Yet as a nation today we are much more self-reliant (keeping our powder dry) than we are God-reliant (trusting in Him).

    Here’s a direct question: Can you trust God? There are two ways to look at that question. "Can you trust God? That is, is He dependable in times of need? Will He do what He says?
