Praise the LORD, O my soul!
I will praise the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free;
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
the LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
The LORD will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!
(Psalm 146 ESV)
In what do you trust? Now that may seem like an easy question, but it has changed over our lives for most of us.
I am sure there was someone who at some point in time you trusted with some of your deepest darkest secrets, and then they betrayed you by telling someone else those secrets… You trusted them, and they hurt you. I know I have done that to those that I love. We all have, because we are human. We stumble and fall and we sin. We turn our backs on those whom we need and love because of sin.
But if we trust in God, no matter what happens He will never let us down. He will never turn His back or betray our trust. No matter how many times we do it to Him, He will never leave us or forsake us.
So cling not to anyone else, but put your trust in God, and He will see you through.
