The Middle Scripture
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” (Psalms 118:8)
Today’s Morsel: Some say that this is the middle scripture in the KJV of the Bible. If this is true, then it is rightfully placed and the right verse to be in the middle. It is always better to trust in God than man. Man will fail you and reject you. But God will never fail us nor forsake us. Solomon tells us too, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) If our trust isn’t in the Lord, then what is it in? We must believe that God will do what He says without hesitation or reservation. If God says it, then we must take it at face value. This is why faith is essential to the believer. We can’t see God. We can only see what He has created and what He does to prove Himself to us, so that we will trust Him. David was confident in God, and he said: “For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” (Psalms 44:6-8) David knew where his help came from, and he was not about to trust in other people, nor other things, over God. And neither should we. “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.” (Psalms 56:3-4) Where is your trust today?
Sing: Trusting in Him who will not leave you, whatsoever years may bring; if by earthly friends forsaken, still more closely to Him cling!
Hold to God’s unchanging hand! Hold to God’s unchanging hand! Build you your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Thought For Today: For without me, Jesus said, you can do nothing (John 15:5)
