May 21 devotional

Scripture
Psalm 118:8-9
“It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in people. It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in princes.”
Observation
I have a tendency to place too much faith in people. People are human and they will fail. They will let me down, even princes. Powerful people will fail me as well. God never fails. God is absolutely trustworthy. He will never leave me or forsake me. God is faithful and loyal.
Application
I will place my faith in God. I can count on him. God is honorable and loyal. People who love me may fail me. They are human. They are not perfect but God is perfect. I can completely trust him with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength.
Prayer
I love you. You are a great God. I trust you. I know you love me and your will is always best. Thank you for being loyal, faithful, and honorable.
