“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” –Proverbs 29:25
This verse from Proverbs I take personal interest to and I’ve applied it to all I do in this lifetime. Especially with all of the duress and unrest this world is handing out to humans these days. It collides with my soul, and it often tries to “block out the light” because of the negativity in the air. It’s like I’m suffocating at times with circumstances in the world and our country.
However, I put my full trust in the LORD. I know without a doubt that He is in control, and that although it seems like things are dank and bleak, the opposite side of the coin is what I choose to see. And that is because of my bond and depth of love for the LORD and His promises.
- God has never disappointed me, NEVER! He has shown me the way, more times than not. It isn’t His fault, should I take another path. He shows me, and it is up to me to listen.
- He guides. Yes, guides. Like the true North, He is a forever and always and completely trustworthy co-pilot to have, during all of my journeys.
- He chastises when necessary. YES! He will do His part as a loving Father if I should do something which isn’t sitting too well with Him! And to which I say, “pardon me Father, I’m sorry. Thanks for disciplining me, with love!
- And He shines His light upon the path in which to enlighten me and keep me from the dark.
- Most important, His love is unmatched, unwavering, and unconditionally powerful and soothing.
Trusting in God, and not man is a no brainer for me, always has been, and hopefully, always will be. We can’t be fooled by the enemy and the ways of the world. Its subtle temptations may come calling, be prepared at all times. And the only way to be prepared, is to meditate, reflect, trust and follow the LORD.
Who are you going to trust? God, or the world?
“Father, thank You for Your word, Your promises, and the steadfast depth of love You have shown all the days of my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
