Psalm 118:8 is the book, chapter and verse that falls exactly in to the middle of the bible. One of my fellow brothers showed this to me the other night and I truly believe it is a lesson from God that speaks volumes and one that He wants to penetrate in to our heart and soul.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118:8 NKJV
I wanted to share this because I know how many people are hurting right now and have been betrayed or disappointed by man. I pray that you meditate on this and allow the power of the Holy Spirit to move in you so that this will comfort and keep you. No one is ever going to be everything you want them to be. We all will fall short in one another's eyes. The longer we get to know someone, the more we will see and learn that person's quirks or ways. We all have quirks. The key is to not place ourselves above another as more righteous or more holy. We are not to place our trust in man as the end all say all. And we need to keep our relationships in perspective and not put so much faith in anyone other than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the only person that will never let you down. He will be your most loyal and loving friend, parent and confidant and for me and my house, we will serve Him only. So on this gorgeous holiday weekend, love one another. Forgive others, forgive yourself. Look to the good in yourself and in fellow man. Keep your faith in the One who made the ultimate sacrifice for you so that you would live a life of substance and purpose. Man will come and go out of our lives, it is only He that will remain forever. Be blessed in Him.
