Trusting me is a moment-by-moment choice. My people have not always understood this truth. After I performed miracles in the wilderness, my chosen children trusted me intensely-but only temporarily. Soon the grumbling began again, testing my patience to the utmost.

Isn’t it often the same way with you? You trust me when things go well, when you see me working on your behalf. This type of trust flows readily within you, requiring no exertion of your will. When things go wrong, your trust-flow slows down and solidifies. You are forced to choose between trusting me intentionally or rebelling, resenting my ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road. Stay on the path of life with me, enjoying my presence. Choose to trust me in all circumstances.

相信我是一个时刻都要作出的选择。我的子民并不总是理解这个真理。在我在荒野中行了奇迹后，我所拣选的子民强烈地相信我，但只是暂时的。很快，抱怨又开始了，考验我的耐心到了极限。

你不是也经常这样吗？当一切顺利，当你看到我在为你工作时，你相信我。这种信任在你内心自然流动，不需要用意志去努力。当事情出了问题，你的信任流就会放慢，凝固。你被迫在相信我和反抗、怨恨我的方式之间做出选择。这个选择构成了一个岔路口。与我一起走上人生之路，享受我的同在。选择在所有情况下相信我。
