Put Your Trust In The Lord

All throughout the Scriptures we are warned against putting our trust in human beings. Humans are not to be gods to us to where we believe their every word and so we follow them in blind obedience and submission. We are not to put our trust in other humans to where we treat them as though they are gods to be worshipped and followed unequivocally and without question. We are not to bow to any person or group or nation or leader, looking to them to be our saviors who are going to give us a better life.

We are not to put any human being above God or in place of God to where we listen to them and not to God. And we should be those who are seeking out the Lord for truth, and so we know what to believe and what not to believe. And we are to be those who are to be testing what we hear from any human being, and against the Scriptures, taught in their appropriate context (not out of context). So this necessitates that we be students of the Scriptures who study them in the right context, and who obey God.

Let me give you an example of what this is talking about. Here in the USA, where I live, our political system is divided into two sides, republican and democrat. Now I believe this division is fake and that the two parties are, in reality, one whole working for the same people. They fake their division and they stir up division among the people in the USA to try to get us to take sides and to believe that one side is telling us the truth and that the other side is lying to us, to try to get us to be absolutely loyal to just one side.

And so what typically happens with this is that it causes divisions among those professing faith in Jesus Christ so that they end up fighting against one another. And it leads many followers to believe whatever their side is telling them is the truth, and to disregarding entirely what the other side is saying is the truth. And so many professing Christians end up being groupies, of sorts, in that they not only believe whatever one side is saying, but many of them are regurgitating that side as though it is gospel truth.

And so, essentially, they end up becoming followers of humans, believing whatever they are telling them, and often without question. And their trust then is largely based in what these humans are telling them, often without testing them and without consulting God to see if what they are believing is the truth or not. And many of them are following wolves in sheep’s clothing who pretend to be for the people when, in truth, they are working against the people with the goal to destroy us as a people, not to rescue us.

So, we are not to put our trust in any human, group, nation and/or national leader of the people who are bound to fail us, and who may be working for the devil with the purpose to destroy us. Our trust needs to be solely in God who will never lie to us and who will keep his word. But remember that all of God’s promises have conditions, the primary condition being that we obey him and that we go with him where he leads us and that we not be idolaters and adulterers, but that we live holy lives, pleasing to God, in his power.

So, if you profess faith in Jesus Christ, please pray and ask the Lord to show you if you are putting your trust in any human or group or nation or world leader, believing that they are who they say they are, doing what they say that they are doing, which they claim is for our good. And if he shows you that this is what you are doing, then stop doing it! And then pray for wisdom and discernment to know truth from lies, and test the spirits to see which ones are of God, and then just follow the Lord, and believe what he says.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
