2 Samuel 22:31, “The ways of God are without fault. The LORD’s words are pure. He is a shield to those who trust him.” People typically don’t offer their trust immediately. Have you ever tested how warm or cold the water is by dipping your toe in first? Learning to trust our Creator completely is difficult for some and it may be necessary for them to experience HIs compassion before they are able to offer that complete trust. This rarely happens unless they have others who have already learned to trust Him to be an example.
