Psalm 118:1,5-9 AMPC
O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! [5] Out of my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free and in a large place. [6] The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? [7] The Lord is on my side and takes my part, He is among those who help me; therefore shall I see my desire established upon those who hate me. [8] It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man. [9] It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
A day before the election here and folk are deciding who to trust with their vote.
It's a minefield full of conflicting messages.
Leaders make pompous boasts about how they are the one to trust. Only they can offer hope and success.
So, we listen, evaluate and discuss.
It's not news to any of us that most leaders never live up to their billing or deliver on their promises!
Those inspiring speeches become petards of deceit and disappointment.
So, who can we trust with our lives and our futures?
Only the Lord - He alone will fulfill us.
His Promises are certain and in Jesus alone there is hope and salvation.
He literally put His life on the line for each one of us.
Trust belongs only in Him.
He will lead us faithfully and mercifully through this life to eternity in His Kingdom where He will reign forever.
No more elections in Heaven.
No more changing governments.
Revelation 11:15 NKJV
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in Heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
Hallelujah to that.
