It is better to trust in the Lord

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” - Psalms 118v8-9

Every one of us can think back on times when we have been let down, or even betrayed by others. Sometimes we make foolish decisions and trust the wrong people. Other times we make right choices and then are simply betrayed.

It is easy to put our confidence in men. They are visible and tangible. We get immediate responses, and it is nice to sit down and have a cuppa tea and a chat. We do this even though we have been burnt and know that they are apt to fail.

We really have no other choice. We must trust people on a regular basis and it is not always a bad thing, However, it is far better to put our deepest trust in the Lord in every situation and always be aware that man may let us down.

When we trust Him we can be assured that we will never get burnt.

Being let down by others is a difficult and painful experience.

It is great that God does not let us down.
