What we should trust in

Psalm 20:7
January 1st 2017, 1st Holy Day of the month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

There is something for each one of us to trust in. The Bible tells us what we must not and should trust in.

First of all, what are the things that we must not trust in?

Firstly, it is our strength. Some trust in their abilities or their possessions. God rejects the proud ones.
Secondly, it is about tomorrow. What we are given is only today. We will be given another new day if it is God’s will. We should thank day by day and walk faithfully before the LORD.

Next, what are the things we should trust in?

Firstly, it is our weakness. The glory of the LORD does appear in our weakness.
Secondly, it is the Lord himself. We should trust in the Lord, who loves us, died on the cross as our substitute, gives us salvation and walk with us.

What we trust in will make a big difference in the steps in our lives. Let us not mistake what we should trust in!

<The Verse of the Bible>
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7 (NIV)
