The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy word.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord Himself, is the Rock eternal.

Isaiah 26:4

This ends this reading from God's holy word. Thanks be to God.

In whom do you place your trust? Who do you most rely on in life?

For much of our world today, you will receive one of two answers.

The first answer might be that a person trusts in themselves. These people are so self confident that they feel they can get through anything and everything in life without assistance. No matter how difficult a situation might be, they feel they can find a solution. No how hard something may be, they are convinced they are strong enough to pull through it.

The second answer will be trust in any number of other people in the world outside of the person asked. These people have sense enough to admit they can’t handle everything and so they lean on others when they have a need for support or assistance. The feeling is that there is someone who can help them find their way through any situation they encounter whether that person is alien to them or close to them like a family member or friend.

Both of these life attitudes are terribly flawed at their root.

Why?

Because in either case, a person is placing their full hope and faith in someone who is imperfect, someone who will not always necessarily be with them forever, someone who may not be as reliable as they thought.

This is why today’s scripture verse from Isaiah, Chapter 26, is critical for us to hear and put into action in our lives. It points us to the only one we can truly count on in any and all situations to be there for us, providing perfect solutions, perfect wisdom, perfect protection, and perfect guidance and direction.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord Himself, is the Rock eternal.

Who can do what the Lord can do?

No one has His power. No one has His understanding and knowledge. No one can do all things as He can.

He is the Rock, the solid foundation upon which we can stand and build our lives upon, not just today but forever. No one else is like Him, no one else can be like Him, no one else will be like Him. There is nothing beyond the work of His almighty hands. That is a fact underscored throughout the scriptures and it is a fact that has been underscored in all the years since then to present times.

When it comes right down to it, the Lord is the only one we can truly trust. He’s the only one we should trust, now and forever.

As we enter this new year, have you placed your full faith and hope in Him?

Amen.

In Christ,

Mark
