"I will put my trust in him"

I went to do my devotions this morning and my eyes caught this scripture:
"I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me." Heb 2:12

I looked up "trust" in the concordance and so many scriptures about "trust". I believe the Lord wanted us to get that, to just trust.

"The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou are come to trust." Ruth 2:12

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Ps 31.19

Trust means: Something committed or entrusted to one, to be used or cared for, in the interest of another.

"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler (one that shields and protects) to all them that trust in him."
II Sam 22:31

However, the scriptures talk about those who are wicked and dont trust:

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Job 9:13-15

We can put our trust in alot of things, but none of those things are stable. A job, money, houses, land, they go up in value and down in value, you gain a dollar today and loose it tomorrow, but the Lord is forever a solid rock.
Praise God!
