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.

相信我是一個時刻都要作出的選擇。我的子民並不總是理解這個真理。在我在荒野中行了奇跡後，我所揀選的子民強烈地相信我，但隻是暫時的。很快，抱怨又開始了，考驗我的耐心到了極限。

你不是也經常這樣嗎？當一切順利，當你看到我在為你工作時，你相信我。這種信任在你內心自然流動，不需要用意誌去努力。當事情出了問題，你的信任流就會放慢，凝固。你被迫在相信我和反抗、怨恨我的方式之間做出選擇。這個選擇構成了一個岔路口。與我一起走上人生之路，享受我的同在。選擇在所有情況下相信我。
