TRUST IN THE LORD
24TH , JUNE 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 7-10
TEXT: Psalm 118:5-14
5. I called upon the LORD
in distress; the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6. The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7. The LORD taketh my part
with them that help me; therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8. It is better to trust in
the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9. It is better to trust in
the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10. All nations compassed
me about; but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11. They compassed me
about; yea, they compassed me about; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy
them.
12. They compassed me about
like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; for in the name of the LORD
I will destroy them.
13. Thou hast thrust sore
at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
14. The LORD is my strength
and song, and is become my salvation.
KEY VERSE:
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put
confidence in man- Psalm 118:8
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God delivers those who trust in Him during adversity.
THE MESSAGE:
In our daily engagements and activities, it is imperative that
we repose confidence in someone or something. We do not think twice before
boarding an aircraft. We are confident that the pilot will do his work
competently, and will get us to our destination. The problem starts when we are
confronted by situations that require that we put our confidence in God. This,
itself, is an act of faith.
The psalmist is convinced that God is good and merciful. When he
faced a distressing situation therefore, he cried to the Lord who answered
promptly. He knew that God was on his side, and there was no need to be afraid
of what men might do to him. From experience, the psalmist knew that it was
better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. He believed that in
the name of the Lord, he would vanquish all those forces that had gathered
against him. He was sorely pressured by the enemy in the hope that he would
fall. But God came to his rescue. No wonder he saw God as his strength, song
and salvation.
We must recognise that it is a waste of time to trust men more
than God. It is a contradiction for us to turn to man when trials and troubles
arise. We trust God because His love is eternal, His mercy is unmerited, His
compassion is unfailing, His promises are certain and His gifts are good and
perfect. All you need to do is ensure that there is no disagreement between you
and the Lord, for then your confidence in Him will never be in vain.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
