Our Only Hope
Filed Under Devotional
Years of study and expensive training can produce human beings that are nearly perfect at their assigned duties. This country can produce the best brain surgeons, the best snipers, the best fighter pilots, and the best football players in the world. But all of those people, their trainers, and those who paid for it would laugh at the idea of producing someone that will never fail. They can learn to minimize mistakes and how to work through them, but they cannot train for perfection.
So, when we have to choose on whom we will depend for everything in life, why would we choose another human being or someone created by the minds of human beings? Those are guaranteed to let you down eventually.
“Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge. Selah” Psalm 62:5-8
We cannot split our trust between God and government or God and our pastor or God and our strength. Our hope can only successfully depend upon Him and Him alone.
Don’t be fooled by those who are better educated or better trained than you. They cannot offer the perfectly dependable hope that God does. This is not a difficult concept, it’s just hard to practice. He is the only hope worth having.
