Topic: TRUST GOD, NOT HUMAN
Text: Psalm 118:8 (NKJV)
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.
Instead of depending on human strength, the psalmist places his complete trust in God. contrasting two clear paths: trusting unreliable people or seeking refuge in the unchanging nature of the Almighty.
The Psalmist boldly states, "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Human beings are mortal, fragile, and prone to fail us when we need them most, leaving us stranded.
Moreover, human resources are limited, meaning they can never fully meet all our needs. Ultimately, relying only on people leads to greater disappointment and worsens our struggles.
Unlike humans, trusting completely in God offers true joy, peace, and fulfilment. Because He is eternal, we can look to Him as our ultimate provider and protector. He specialises in the impossible—removing blocked paths and opening doors no enemy can lock. Above all, He guarantees our eternal rest.
Trusting God does not mean building walls against others, but recognising that people do not control our destiny. When others fail or turn us away, keep hope alive. Pray, follow His word, and leave the outcomes to Him. He is faithful, and placing our confidence in Him ensures we will never be disappointed but will be satisfied.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you that you never shame those who trust in You. Help me to place my full trust in Your unfailing promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.
