PUT TRUST IN GOD!
Psalms 108:12 – Give us help from trouble: For vain is the help of man. (KJV)
Read: Deuteronomy 31:6
A father once told his son to jump from a roof, promising to catch him. The terrified boy obeyed, but the dad deliberately refused to grab him. While on the floor, the man said to the naïve boy, “Son, such is life! Never put trust in man.” There was also a man who wanted to cross a tiny bridge and decided to latch on to God’s hand. Surprisingly, God told him, “Son, I would rather hold your hand because if you hold me and something happens, you might let go. But if I hold your hand, regardless of the circumstances, I will never let you go.”
There are people who depend on the arm of the flesh and have their hopes shattered by personal beliefs, confidants, organisations, and the government. This is because humans are insufficient by default and prone to disappoint, as learnt from the above story. The Scripture for today holds firm that man in his super form cannot guarantee lasting help since he is subject to the most high. Only the most high God reserves the power and ability to render limitless and the most effective assistance at an exact time.
Beloved, your response this morning is to rest on God intentionally. Purposeful reliance on God comes from understanding that, as a child of God, nothing can pluck you out of the Father’s hands except sin. Even when men fail and you go through the valley of death, God is forever present. Therefore, if you are battling hardship, sickness, and uncertainties, God wants to hold your hands to rescue you. All you need to do is put your hands in His hands; He is the sure keeper!
