TRUST GOD - June 24 Today's Perspective

PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID’S 7 SECRETS

Chapter two, “Sit at God’s Round Table” p. 31

IN GOD WE TRUST

Our founding fathers believed it!  Our money proclaims it!  Yet there are dissenting voices in our educational, government, and legal systems that are fighting to take God out of our daily lives.

I read a long article recently that said millennials (14 to 34 year olds) biggest issue is trust.  They mostly do not trust anything they read or hear, those writing or speaking.  And, given our financial, governmental and educational leadership, that lack of trust is well deserved.

So who can we trust?  Believe it or not, you can still depend on God just like David did.  He said, “The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped” Ps. 28:7.

Throughout David’s Psalms, he keeps trust as the issue, “The king trusts in the Lord” Ps. 21:7. Even when it came to armies and weapons, as the commander in chief he said, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the Name of the Lord our God” Ps. 20:7.

Today we would say, “Some trust in our superior military might and some trust in our strong economy, but…” oops, that is where America puts its trust. 

So, where can we tell the seventy-six million millennials to

go to gain the confidence they need to exist in the 21^st century?  

We could tell them to go back to Sunday School, (that phrase is probably politically incorrect or it simply doesn’t matter) and memorize Proverbs 3:5 & 6, like we did - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

And if you and I are to find the path to success and fulfillment, and if America is to regain its place in the world, we must all agree with what our dollar bills declare:
