Not A Prince Yet

It is better to trust in the LORD
​​Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD
​​Than to put confidence in princes. 
  --Psalm 118:8-9

To place one's confidence in man is to place a heavy burden on a poor creature who is born in weakness and sin. It isn't that most of mankind intends to be untrustworthy, but often we answer to more than one boss in the earthly matters. And even without a boss involved, we have those physical and mental needs that might get in the way. We might also run into that weakness we are to boast of and fail for that reason. And there might be that streak of unwillingness that rises up from time to time. It relates to the message from yesterday: Save myself in my weakness? Ha, it is to laugh! And now you want me to save you as well? It does seem that we need a powerful savior. I think God's Son will do just fine; trust in Him!

Princes will have to answer for themselves. I haven't been a prince yet.

Have a happy Friday as we rejoice in Jesus!
