Title: Trust God Alone

Scriptures: Proverbs 20:1 - 11

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Today I'm moving on the next chapter of Proverbs, chapter 20:1-11.  Out of the 11 verses, 3 verses stood out for me.  Verse 6 and 8-9.  Verse 6 says, Lots of people claim to be loyal and loving but where on earth can you find one?  Verses 8-9 says, Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap, for who among us can be trusted to be always diligent and honest?  Wow!  The wisest man on earth asked, where on earth can you find a person who is loyal and loving?  Even business leaders who care for their business keep a sharp eye because king Solomon again asked, who among us can be trusted to be always diligent and honest?  No one is perfect - this is true!  But these verses made me evaluate my own self.  I mean, I can say that I am loving and I am loyal and that I am diligent and honest - but then am I really?  I mean, no one is all the time.  This gives us warning that although, we want to trust others when they betray us or hurt us, we should somehow be ready for it because no one can be fully trusted except God.  That's why the statement that says trust no man is true because you can't really trust man, you better put your trust only to God!  Because He is the only person who is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Amen!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus thank You for the warning again and again.  Thank You because You are my only hope and the only person I can truly trust.  Help me Lord to understand that man is inconsistent and although, I may give my trust in man, if they break it, I will remember Your words and prepare my hearts.  Give me wisdom Lord to deal with people on earth and to fully trust You alone.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today:

Proverbs 20:6 (The Message Version)

Lots of people claim to be loyal and loving, but where on earth can you find one?

Wow!  What a powerful wisdom from God through King Solomon, the wisest king ever lived on earth.  The Bible warns us of man's inconsistency. No matter how good a person is, no one is perfect.  That's why it is only wise to fully trust God only because He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  I'm not saying we don't trust man anymore and isolate ourselves from others, but I'm saying to trust God fully instead in everything because He is the only person who will never fail us. 

Have a blessed day!
