To Our Dear Belmont Family,
Some trust in chariots,others in horses,but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Psalms 20:7
That verse is a reality check for me. At times I need to be reminded of whom or what I trust in. I’m behind in everything so it’s pretty clear I should not trust in myself and my own planning.The world is at war, prices of everything are crazy, the list of things we’re not really in control of goes on and on. Back to reality, the only One I can truly trust is the One who never fails, Jesus.
I’m 69 years old, one would think I would have learned the truth of that verse long ago.I’ve walked with Jesus for 45 years, you would think my faith would be rock solid by now. I’ve seen more miracles than I can count. I read and study the Bible. I’m surrounded by great people of faith, but yet, even though I know better, from time to time I find myself putting my trust in things that fail.
I doubt I’m the only one of us that needs a reality check in life. I’m a fixer, maybe you are too. I want to fix things and yes even people. Not only can’t I do that, but it’s pretty silly because I can’t even fix myself. I’m such a slow learner.
Spend some time on the truth of that verse. Let us put our trust in Jesus, but let us work for the Kingdom like it depends on us.
Trusting in Jesus,
Pastor Tom and Sherri
