Learning How To Trust The Lord

Ken Ebright

“Trust the LORD with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. 

Remember the LORD in all you do, and he will give you success.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NCV).

I ran camera in high school for sporting events like hockey, football and basketball. 

I would go on to Vo-Tech to pursue my dreams of working in television. When I got my first job, someone shared the above mentioned verse. 

I learned how to trust in the Lord.

I did an internship working in production for a cable company. 

I worked part-time a few days a week for a community college doing odd jobs that needed to get done relating to television. 

Later on, the cable company I interned for was bought out, and many people quit. 

I was hired to work part-time there, but was able to get another part-time job to supplement my income.

I worked at a fast food restaurant but was told I was not quick enough, and therefore lost that job. 

I also interviewed for a job selling encyclopedias, but the interviewer said I was disqualified for not going to college. 

I got up and walked out of that interview. 

The person who was interviewing me apologized as I walked out. 

I also worked for a grocery store. 

I lost that job as well. 

Although on the same day I lost my job at the grocery store, I was offered a full time job at the cable company.

 
Being a young Christian in my early twenties taught me that the Lord can be trusted. 

I didn’t understand how He was going to work throughout my life. 

The Lord showed me then and many other times, that I can rely on Him. The question is — do you trust him?
