Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!
Be careful what you put your trust in. Just because someone tells you what you want to hear, doesn’t make it true. Trust in God. His way is going to end up better anyway. “follow me and you’ll never experience pain” “trust in me and I’ll bring you fortune and comfort” yet, it’s a lie. The Christian life, in many ways, is a hard one. It is the road less traveled, but it’s also a paradox. It is also the easy way because it is not our own effort which takes us along the road, it is Christ in us. Don’t turn to the one who tickles your ears, trust in the creator of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ.
