“It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes” (Ps.118:8,9).

You, Lord God, are:

absolutely trustable, but people are ever fickle;

you are mighty, people are weak;

you are eternal, people are fleeting;

you are infinitely wise, people have very limited understanding and knowledge;

you see all, people see only a tiny portion of reality;

you know the future, people can only guess;

you are good by nature, people are evil by nature;

you are loving, people are selfish;

And the list of contracts goes on.

So--who are we going to trust?

Trusting in you, Lord God,  is always wise,

to take refuge in you is always good,

to rest in you is always right.

Praise be to you, Lord Jesus, for you are the Creator and King, Lord and Savior, Judge and Victor.

“To you be glory in my life today and forever more.

Help me to flee to you with each challenge, problem and difficulty,

to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving so the answer can come from you and bring you glory.

Help me today to distrust myself and to trust you instead. Amen.”
