Don't put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there
Today's verse couldn't be any clearer, "Don't put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there." I don't know what challenge you are facing today? Or what mountain is ahead of you today? However, one thing I know and very certain of is, no body can save you and I. No matter their social status and financial standing, they are inadequate and a false hope even to themselves.
I came to encourage you to put your trust and hope in the one living God; The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."- Zephaniah 3:17 What else could be more assuring and so comforting to know the created of the universe Himself - Jehovah takes delight in you and not only that but will also quiet you with His love. Look up to the Lord today, the author and finisher of your faith, for in Him alone lies our hope and salvation. He has promised never to leave you nor forsake, all you have to do is to put your trust and hope in Him.
Reflections:
Look back on all the times you have been let down by people you thought could help you and how they betrayed your confidence? Remember the many people you know and have come in contact with that, money, social status, position in either work or government has failed to deliver them in their darkest hour and time of need.
