As I look around, I cannot say that the world around me even pretends to trust God. But more importantly, I don't think I really do either.

If I could expand the slogan, I'd say, "Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the Lord our God." (Psalm 20:7) Honestly, I depend on my job; I depend on my health; I depend on wife... but I'm not sure that I really depend on God.

My pastor has been teaching me that I don't trust God because I don't love Him. And I don't love God because I don't know Him. And I don't know Him because I don't spend time in the Bible. But if I truly trusted God, then I'd have no trouble obeying Him.
