Good Morning Friends,
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalm 20:7)
The world offers many trust alternatives.
For retirement, there is Social Security and
the stock market. Unfortunately, there
are no guarantees that Social Security will still be solvent when many of us
reach retirement age. And the stock
market goes down as well as up – as we have been reminded the last few years.
For our health, there are a whole host of
medical professionals to whom we can turn.
Unfortunately, not even the best medical specialists have all the
answers to the problems that can afflict the human body and not even the finest
medical care can avert death indefinitely.
For security, we can trust the military might
of the United States. Unfortunately, not
even all the might our forces have can totally protect us from danger. The Oklahoma City bombing and September 11th
made that point in dramatic fashion.
For success, we can trust our own
intelligence and hard work.
Unfortunately, intelligence and hard work aren’t always adequate to
ensure success. There are many hard
working and intelligent people who would be considered failures by every
standard of the world.
Is there anywhere else to turn that is truly
trustworthy? Of course there is – we can
trust God. We may not always understand
why He answers our prayers in the way He does, but He has forever proven His
love in His gift of Jesus and forever proven His power in the resurrection and
a thousand other dramatic statements that show that nothing can stand in the
way of His will.
It’s a choice I make – I choose to trust God!
His, by Grace,
Steve
