https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251001dev.mp3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God.
Psalm 146:3-5
A Life of Trust
Trust seems to be in short supply today. It’s easy to be skeptical or cynical rather than assume that you can trust others. Can you trust leaders when they fail to keep their promises? Can you trust institutions when they fail to provide the moral foundation or the expertise we expect? Can you trust businesses when they fail to provide the products or services that they promise to produce? Can you trust other people when they break a relationship or let you down?
What happens when trust is in short supply? Someone or something needs to fill that vacuum, so it’s not unusual for people to rally to a charismatic leader or a popular expert. It shouldn’t surprise us when institutions or groups that have lost our trust demand it back. Even on a personal level, if someone lets us down or breaks a once-strong relationship, we often look for someone to fill that void.
Yet the Psalmist tells us that we shouldn’t go looking for another human being or human institution to restore our missing trust. Even if those people prove to be trustworthy, they will eventually depart this life in death. He writes that, “On that very day their plans come to nothing.”
So, whom can we trust? The Psalmist responds, “Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God.” There is only one person in all of history who deserves our complete trust and never causes us to lose trust—the God of Jacob, the Lord of free and faithful grace who is our Savior-God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. That Savior-God has kept every one of his promises, even to the point of giving up his life to pay for our lack of trust. That Savior-God is our help and hope not just now, but for all eternity. By faith, we trust in him.
Prayer:
Lord God, in a skeptical world, I am tempted to trust in others rather than you. Lift my eyes to the cross to see your unfailing love and trust in you alone. Amen.
