Chatting with Jesus
Wednesday, September 25, 2024
Lord, trust appears to be at an all-time low these days. Our governments and institutions we once trusted have proven to be not what they claimed to be. Sadly, even our sacred religious bodies have been compromised, causing believers deep spiritual wounds and disappointments in its leaders. Once their lies and deceptions were exposed, out trust went out the window.
Thankfully, Lord, you are faithful in all you say and do. When searching for truth, our trust in you and your Word remains rock solid. You are our anchor in these turbulent times.
Consistent lying and lack of trust is nothing new. Topsy-turvy times originated in the Garden with that ugly snake/apple incident. That ole serpent, whom your Word calls the devil, lies every time he opens his mouth. We are so thankful, Jesus, you came and put the devil in his place. The psalmist saw this victorious time coming.
“The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you” (Psalm 9:9–10).
We’re never abandoned to figure this life out on our own. When the psalmist searched for you in his times of trouble, he found your faithfulness like none other. You are who you say you are, and you will do what you say you will do. You have been the same since the beginning.
Lord, help us be faithful in putting our trust completely in you. What a comfort to have you in our lives. We’re so tired of man letting us down.
Amen, Jesus.
