Proclamation:
“It is better to trust in The
Lord than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:8 (KJV)
Explanation:
While there is some doubt as
to the human author of this psalm, it is clear that it was written under the
influence of The Holy Spirit of God and it points the reader to Jesus, The
Christ. The point of this psalm is that
only The Lord God is worthy of our trust.
Man will let you down and disappoint you, and maybe even deceive
you.
Application:
Blessed is the man who put
his trust in The Lord. (Psalm 40:4) He
is always with us. The Lord God will
never leave us nor will He forsake us. (Deuteronomy 31:8 and Hebrews 13:5) He hears our cry and He sees our tears. He even understands our frustrations and our
temptations. He can get us out of a bad
situation, clean us up, place us on the right path, and give us a new song of
praise to sing because of His goodness and mercy. (Psalm 40:1-3) No man can do that. We cannot even do that for ourselves. Trust in The Lord with all
your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall
direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6) The
Lord is our strength and our protection, our help and our Savior, only He is
worthy of our trust. (Psalm 28:7) Do not
put your trust in a person, trust in The Lord and be blessed.
