While our coins and money say that we trust in God will you agree with me that that is highly suspect? If we trusted in God would we be sweating the failure of our largest auto companies? If we trusted in God would there be such pandemonium every time the stock market goes up 100 points or down 100 points? If we trusted in God would we be agreeing to the disposal of millions of babies each and every year for the past 40 years? If we trusted in God would we be fighting from state to state the issue of legalizing sodomy and perverse marriage? I could go on and on but I think by now if you are thinking you see how clear it is that we do not trust in God. As a nation it appears we have forsaken HIM a long time ago. The evidence is all around us.
But for our discussion, if we do not trust in God then in whom are we trusting. Well, at the present it would seem that we are headed towards trying to replace God with big Government. It is clear from each and every broadcast of the news that IS the clear agenda. If we just take time to evaluate our own Gov's ability to handle things all I need to do is say....Military spending! OR maybe....Social Security! and now add to that Bailout! If we place our confidence in Gov then we are in dire straights. Big Trouble! But the main thing is really that if we trust in Gov it is simply made up of people. What we are really saying is that we trust in ourselves. Man is that in which we have confidence. Danger, Danger, Danger!!!
The Bible says "there is a way that seems right to a man but the ends thereof are the ways of death." Though man may accomplish many feats, he has proven that he, at best, is flawed. Those of us who have been slighted, hurt, swindled, lied to or about, ripped off, stolen from, beaten, kicked, defamed, or any of the other things man does regularly, know that man's way is often not the best!
Today as always I will call your attention to God 's word where HE says to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and HE shall direct your paths." We must be a people who trust in God and God alone for our help and guidance.
How long has it been since you prayed and spent time talking with God? Have you ever prayed and worked through your need of HIM? After more than 3 decades of serving HIM, I can safely say to you...Trust in God in all your situations. Turn to His word for guidance and a good Bible believing and Bible preaching church for your encouragement and support. Without HIM, we are doomed for fail, but with HIM, Nothing is impossible!!!
