"Do not put your trust in mere humans, they are as frail as breath. What good are they?"
I have often told my children that they should never put there trust in a man. Human beings will fail you every time. The reason is that all of us have come short of the Glory of God and no one is good, no not one of us! Have your parents deserted you? Did your brothers and sisters let you down? How about your "friends" or your spouse and their family? It is true folly to put your trust and hope in any human being. As Jesus Christ said, "only God is Good". There are so many examples of where people have put their trust in someone only to be hurt and disappointed when their true nature, character and morals are revealed. Go ahead, supply your own example! Mans actions can never equal there words! They may be sincere as can be, but they remain sinners. So the threshold question is WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
All men are weak, frail and from the moment of birth they are dying. They may have breath in their lungs for a short time but in the end one thing happens to us all. In God's time we are just a wisp of smoke, a breath of air, or a flower that blooms and then fades away. Who are we in comparison to all that have been or will be. Hardly a rock you can stand on or a shelter you can run into, for we are here today and gone tomorrow. The lesson and the One Truth Today is that you should never put your trust in a human being. They are as frail as breath and of no good in the eternal scheme of things. That is why the Lord tells us to always seek Him First. Jesus Christ, the Lord God is eternal and absolute. The Lord always has the Truth and is the answer to any question. WHO CAN YOU TRUST? The answer is the Lord and Him only!
This does not mean that we can never trust anyone. The measure of the trust should be in equal proportion to the how they keep their word. Their actions will speak louder than their words and you can judge them by their fruit! The closer the person is to God and His Word the more likely they can be trusted. keep in mind that all are sinners and come short of the Glory of God, they are just like you, right! That is why it is so important to Know, Love and Fear God, He is the only one you can really trust and this for eternity. IN GOD WE TRUST, is more than a slogan on our dollar bill. It is one of the foundational belief's of this country. Well at least it used to be. How about your life, who do you trust? Better question, WHO CAN YOU TRUST? You know the answer and now it is time to live the answer. IN GOD WE TRUST!
