“The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.”Proverbs 18:10 NLT
David wrote in the psalms: some trust in horses, some in chariots, but I will trust in the name of the Lord! (Psalm 20:7)
Some trust in men or women of high standing, however, all people can fail us, especially in the matter of priorities. However, God is our safety, our hiding place.
Some trust in themselves and believe they can handle anything. However, along comes something they cannot handle and they struggle. I used to be supremely confident. I remember being asked, “what do you do if you find someone who does not like you?” I replied, “I will win them over!” Unfortunately, life is not like that. I have had many situations where I cannot win a person over and some have been those I never thought would leave, but they did.
Only God can win a person over. He can make life very difficult for them and chase them down. He does it in love. I have to trust Him for final outcomes and not need people to like or love me. After all, His love never changes and is always dependable. Humans will fail me, He won’t! Amen!
