Through the Bible: PsalmsSample

Trust in God Always

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. (Psalms 118: 6-8 ESV)

We have now come to the centre of the Bible. It’s clear that the LORD is with those who depend on Him and trust in Him. What do we have to fear if the Creator of heaven and earth is with us? Throughout Scripture God promised to be with us always, if we trust in Him. As stated clearly in Jeremiah 17:7, blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.

However, we have a tendency to look to man and rely on worldly wisdom. Jeremiah did warn us: “Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.” (Jeremiah 17:5 ESV)

Therefore, we should put all our trust in God! Let Him be our helper. We should fear nothing but God and depend on our Lord of Creation to show us His ways.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your everlasting love. May our hearts be always with You. We put all our trust in You. May we always remember You are our helper and we can always take refuge in You no matter what situation we are in. We pray all these in Your mighty name, Amen!
