Bible Verse for January 11th.

It is better to trust in The Lord than to put confidence in man.
Psalm 118:8
NKJ Bible

We all have friends whom we trust implicitly. We confide in them, seek their advice and
rely on them in times of difficulties. However, people are flawed and without warning,
relationships between friends can change and we are left dejected and disappointed. Our
trust needs to be in Almighty God. His ears are always attentive to our prayers and He
has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. This does not mean that we should not
trust people, but we ought to be mindful that they are just human and can betray us and
turn away from us when we really need them.
There are many who trust in God, but when things get difficult, they turn away and look
to people instead. However, when we put our confidence in people, worry, fear, doubt
and anxiety remain. Trusting in God removes this. We need to acknowledge that people
change, but God does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. People
can be unfaithful and stop loving us but God is faithful and He loves us with an
everlasting love. When we trust in Him, we find peace, solace, safety, guidance and all
the help we need to face whatever comes our way.
I thank you Lord that You have promised to never leave me nor forsake me. I trust in
You, Lord Jesus. In You alone, I find the peace, courage, strength and direction that I
need to face whatever life brings me. I love you Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
