What do you put your trust in?

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm." - Psalm 20v7-8

In what do you put your trust? In whom do you put your trust? Reflect on yourself. Have a look at what you trust, who you trust. Where does your confidence come from? Money? Appearance? Attention? Gadgets? Retail therapy (SHOPPING!)? Your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife? Your friends? What keeps you going? What spurs you on? Is it the thought of a pay rise? Is it the thought of a better gadget? Is it a new car (equivalent of a chariot or horse)? A better grade?
What would it take to undermine your confidence? Money can be lost. Your appearance fades with time. Attention may not always be available. Gadgets are constantly being invented and the latest becomes old in a short space of time. Shopping is temporary. Even your partner may let you down. Your friends are almost bound to do so (although that's not what we should expect). One can always be paid more. One can always have a better car. One can always write a better essay.

God is consistent. God is eternal. God is before us and behind us. God is. He says: 'I am'. That is His name. He is the Rock. The firm foundation. God cannot be undermined. What God says about you cannot be undermined. It cannot be lost - as long as we put our trust in Him. Primarily and ultimately, my trust is in God. When that is so - all else just falls into place.
