CONFIDENCE IN GOD IS BETTER

CONFIDENCE IN GOD IS BETTER       Thursday July 2, 2015

Text: Psalm 118:1 – 9                    Memory verse: v 8

Each day we must put our confidence in something or someone. For example; Pilots put confidence in their planes. Commuters place confidence in trains, cars, or buses. If you are willing to trust a plane or car to get you to your destination, are you willing to trust God to guide you here on earth and to your eternal destination? Do you trust Him more than any human being? How futile it is to trust anything or anyone more than God.

The Psalmist naturally rejoiced in the divine help he received; all men turned against him, but God was his defender and advocate, accomplishing the divine purposes of His grace. For this reason he counsels us to confide in God. Do you confide in God? Do you have God as your defender and advocate? It is for our own good to do so because men in their frailty will fail us.

Food for Thought: Jeremiah 17: 5, 7 – where do you belong?   

Prayer: God, help me never to trust in man rather to confide in you
