Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Isaiah 26:3-4 ESV “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
Man is human and subject to falling and failing. From the first bite of the forbidden fruit, man was chained to sin and toils. We are made of flesh and bone. We break!
Our life is outfitted with items and products made by man’s hands. They as man will only have a certain life expectancy. It’s broken again…how many times have we said that. Tears fall because of a broken heart or, at the very least, another crack put on the heart by the man himself. (the term man is not gendered)
When we purchase, we trust it will work. When we love someone we trust, they will love us back. When we work hard, we trust that we will receive a paycheck. In most cases, this is what happens, but once again, we are subject to man’s hands. It didn’t work, they didn’t love and the plant was closed, chains on the gates.
This is life, both the good and bad, the right and wrong, the happy and sad. I encourage any of you who don’t have a relationship with our Lord just to start sharing your world with him, lay your cares at his feet, seek his smiling face at your triumphs. He is God, and he will never let you down, and he will never break!
Psalms 118:8 ESV “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.”
We all have people and products we trust in, naturally. We just need to remember those we love and trust are as human and fragile as we are. Be blessed today, and thank you for joining me.🥰 I hope you will keep coming back!
