“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
We so often put trust in the things and people of this world, but God wants us to put all of our trust in Him for all things. If you want to be safe as you sleep at night, put not your trust in security systems and alarms alone, but trust God first. If you want to be sure to arise in the morning, trust God to make death behave. If you want to be sure to make it safely to work, trust God to be your protection and your guide. If you want good health, ask God to be your doctor, healer, and deliverer. If you want your spouse, children, family members and friends to be faithful to you, ask God and trust Him to be their guide.
The word of God says to trust God alone,
On our jobs, in the streets and in our homes;
But, we have so many things on which we can depend,
Our spouses, our children, relatives and friends,
Until we don’t seem to need God any more;
Is there anything we need Him for?
We have our alarm clocks to awake us from our sleep,
Locks and security systems that are able to keep
Us from danger and harm
And our nice homes to keep us warm.
We have our cars to get us where we need to go,
And the interent to teach us whatever we need to know.
We have homes, cars, clothes and all kinds of material wealth,
And because of good insurance, the doctors keep us in good health.
We have our jobs to help us maintain our ways of life
And scientists and psychologists to explain why we have pain and strife.
We have our families to give us love and companionship,
And to provide an intimate relationship.
So, where is there room for God to be the one we trust
From sunrise to sun dust?
You need not put your trust in any man;
For, a man’s footsteps can wash away in the sand;
But, God is with you always, now and forever,
And the bond you share with Him can never be severed.
If you place an alarm clock next to a grave,
He who is eternally sleep could not say “Hello” or even give you a hand-wave.
No lock or security system can save your soul
Or keep your body from growing cold
When death breaks into your body to take your soul away,
Never again allowing you to see a new day.
There is no warmth to keep you from a cold grave, or air to save you from a burning hell
When your soul is set assail
To venture to a place from whence it will never return
To forever rest or to forever burn.
Who will you trust when the doctor walks away and shakes his head
And leaves you to suffer on your dying bed?
Who will be there when all of your family forsake you,
And your friends become very few?
Just who will you trust to mend your broken heart?
Just who can you trust to never leave you, never depart?
Trust God and God alone;
For, He’s the only one who hears your every cry and every groan.
Trust God to watch over you as you slumber and sleep
Because if you shouldn’t arise, your soul He will keep.
Trust God to be your protection in your home, on your job, and in your car
Because He’s always near; He never goes far.
Trust God for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding you need
To prosper and succeed.
Trust God to be your deliverer and healer too;
For, He knows all about you because He created you.
Trust God alone for all that you need
Because if you trust man, you will surely be deceived.
