We can always depend on God

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. (Psalm 118:8 NLT)

 The entire psalm is an expression of gratitude, admiration, joy, and praise to God, and the main point that comes across in this verse is God’s faithfulness.
 When we can’t depend on others—even our family or our best friends—we know that we can always depend on God. He is infinite, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and the very spirit of love. We, on the other hand, are limited, learning as we go. Even our best intentions often go awry because we don’t know how to accomplish what we set out to do.
 From the very first stories of the Bible, we read of a present God, imagine walking through the Garden of Eden with Him, or meeting with Him over lunch to discuss family matters, as Abraham did! There are so many similar stories throughout the Old Testament.
 Then we meet Jesus in the Gospels. He lives among His disciples, walking with them in the market, by the seashore, teaching with authority and love. Even on the cross, He demonstrates His divinity and our insufficiency.
 When asked, “Who can be saved?” Jesus replied: “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
 Clearly, even at our very best and most shining moments, it’s still better to trust in God than to put confidence in man. —Sally García [1]

 The believer's hope consists in the assurance that all things work together for good to those who confidently respond to God's love. —Andrea Albertin
