JUST THINKING
Some people can't be trusted with anything in life. If you trust them with work, secrets, money, things and so on, you will be disappointed.
I have been burnt by people in whom I have confided severally. I have also heard of people too have have been burnt by others whom the trusted. This experience is always painful.
Proverbs 11:13 ERV says, "People who tell secrets about others cannot be trusted. Those who can be trusted keep quiet".
Proverbs 11:13 GNT
says, "No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret, but you can put confidence in someone who is trustworthy".
Trusting people is one major problem many people have because of past experiences. Not to be burnt, you will know a person who reveals secret if they usually gossip and vice versa.
If the person comes to gossip other people and their secrets to you, they will definitely reveal yours to others. So, look at for this red flag. Anyone who gossips can't be trusted.
Also, some people can't be trusted with positions of authority, influence and so on. If you do, they will abuse it, use it to oppress people and use it for their own favour instead for the common purpose and good.
Some people cannot be trusted with money, if you do, you may regret it and you may lose a relationship. If you give them money to keep for you, there may be excuses at the end of the day. This is why you have banks.
There are people you should not entrust with your home(nannies, house help, security, etc) your kids, documents, marriage, and so on. If you do, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
II Kings 12:15 NKJV says, "Moreover they did not require an account from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to be paid to workmen, for they dealt faithfully".
The men stated in the above scripture were said to be faithful or trusted, hence they were not asked to give account of the money given to them for the repairing of the temple. Can this be said of you?
