"In What Do YOU TRUST?"

“In What Do YOU TRUST?”

 

Remind me each morning of your constant love, for I put my trust in you.  My prayers go up to you; show me the way I should go.      Psalm 143:8

Don’t put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you.       Psalm 146:3

Trust in the LORD with all your heart.  Never rely on what you think you know.      Proverbs 3:5

I do not trust in my bow or in my sword to save me.      Psalms 44:6

Some trust in their war chariots and others in their horses, but we trust in the power of the LORD our God.        Psalm 20:7

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never moved.        Psalm 125:1

 

As human beings, we seem to put our TRUST more in PEOPLE or THINGS, than we do the ALMIGHTY GOD.  Even those who are TRUE BELIEVERS, will sometimes put their TRUST in other PEOPLE, THINGS, or in our OWN KNOWLEDGE!   The Psalmist has a lot to say about where we place our TRUST. 

 

In Psalm 143:8, He asks God to REMIND him of God’s CONSTANT LOVE, EVERY MORNING.  This will give us what we NEED to LIVE our lives TRUSTING in Him, to SHOW us the way we should go. 

 

We should NOT put our TRUST in HUMAN LEADERS, because they are mere MORTALS, who have been CREATED by God, and they are just like we are.  They are prone to make mistakes and would LEAD us down the WRONG PATH.  They do NOT have the POWER to SAVE you.  We should not TRUST in our OWN KNOWLEDGE, but we SHOULD TRUST in the LORD GOD, with ALL our HEART. 

 

We should NOT put our TRUST in THINGS.  The Psalmist tells us that; “Some trust in their war chariots and others in their horses.”  Some may be inclined to put their TRUST in a bow or sword to save them.   But we SHOULD PLACE our TRUST in the ALMIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL GOD, the ONE, who has the POWER to SAVE. 

 

Why should we place our TRUST IN God, and NOT in PEOPLE or THINGS?  I think Psalm 125:1 gives us a VERY GOOD reason: Those who TRUST in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can NEVER be shaken, NEVER moved.  Are you TRUSTING the ALMIGHTY GOD or are you TRUSTING in other people, things or yourself to SAVE you?  There is ONLY ONE, who can SAVE you that is the ALMIGHTY God.  If you have NOT put your HEART and LIFE in His Hands and are NOT TRUSTING HIM for your SALVATION, you are headed for an ETERNITY in Hell, with ALL its HORRORS, and there is NO WAY of ESCAPE.  In order to ESCAPE Hell and to GAIN HEAVEN, you MUST TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and TRUST Him, not ONLY with this LIFE, but with your ETERNAL LIFE too.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
