Absolute Confidence in His Sufficiency

 

Text: Psalms 118:8 (KJV)

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

I believe every one of us would have had an experience of disappointment on several occasions. This often happens due to the fact that we entrusted God's capacity to man, which is definitely beyond man's ability, so what do we expect?  We often make this mistake, but it is high time we change that attitude and mindset. Most of the time, we trust man and not God but claim to trust God due to our mindset. We think we called for His help, and He did not answer us, and due to our impatience, we lost the great blessings ahead. The truth is, God is more than able to help, and we just need to have confidence in Him. Micah 7:5-Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. To be frank, putting your trust in a man who has a limit will result in more disappointments. Let us not stagger at His promises rather be confident in Him for He is ever reliable.  Although a man may help you at the start to some extent, there is a limit to the help they can render though not intentional but due to man’s nature. Putting your confidence in God should be your only option because He does not lie, and His promises are yes and amen, but He can decide to choose a human figure to assist us, that does not make you lose confidence in God.  2 Corinthians 1:20 (ERV)-The yes to all of God’s promises is in Christ. And that is why we say “Amen” through Christ to the glory of God.

Interestingly, God’s wonderful works are made visible around us, so we should use that opportunity to put our confidence, absolute belief, and faith in Him. I tell you all things are made in Him, and He is ready to give it to us freely. Ephesians 3:12-In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. The truth is, man is like a flower that withers away. You respecting man's positions and views are not bad, but try not to waver by building absolute confidence in a man who breathes through nose and instead put your trust on the ever-reliable and sufficient Father. He is available right now in those storms, and He has several options as a way out, so why don’t you depend on Him?

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Father, please help us to lean on You and not on our strength and understanding in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, please uphold us even when it seems God is absent, in Jesus name.
