Pagans in a crisis

In Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest he says this:

"We act like pagans in a crisis, only one out of a crowd is daring enough to bank his faith in the character of God."

The one thing that is unchanging is the character of God. Do I bank my faith on the character of God? As I continued to think about this, and explore passages of scripture about trust, I started reflecting on different areas of trust in my life. Sure I can trust God's character, but I don't trust the faithfulness of people or their consistency. I know all too well that people are floundering. Like a fish out of water, they twist their bodies one way and then another looking for the source of life. You can't trust that they will stay in one spot unless they lose their life completely. The whole time they are out of water, they are looking for it in order to live and breathe.
As I was talking with God about how I don't trust the consistency of people, he said to me, "Do you trust me? Do you believe that I am faithful to you?" I had to stop my ranting, and think for a moment. "Yes, God you have always been faithful to me. Your character has never changed. So, yes Lord, I trust you." People aren't trustworthy, but God's character is.
Funny how one moment we go from uncertainty, to peace, to questioning again. As I was filling up my coffee cup after this conversation with God I started thinking about how I would respond in a crisis of sorts, how I would react to certain situations. I realized there that I didn't really trust God like I should either. I waver from moment to moment even though I know of and have experienced God's faithfulness, and bank too much on people even though I know the tendencies of mankind, including myself, and find myself hurt now and again by them. Here then, is an area to grow in.

God, grant that I might have more faith, unwavering faith in you.
You alone are trustworthy.
