He asks us to put our trust in Him and God. That "trust" is secure, will not fail, is not dangerous, and can totally be depended on. Until we have that "no fear" kind of trust, we cannot serve Him the way we should. Abraham had that kind of trust when he was given the command to sacrifice his son and was prepared to do do. We need to have that "nothing held back" reaction to God's leading in our lives. The rich young man had a "trust" issue, not willing to give up all and follow. But can we be sure?
