Deuteronomy 4:39-40
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
I can recall with a sad heart the times when people I thought could be trusted, just could not be trusted. The result was shattering and I must confess that it took a great deal of prayer and fasting before things returned to normal.
I have come to realize that there is a God in heaven and He loves us so much that He sent His own dear Son, Jesus, to suffer and die in order to ransom us from sin. Because of the original sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden we have been a fallen race. Satan lied to our original parents and they fell for his glib enticement.
I do not know where you are at this time moment in your life. It could be that you have faced betrayal and rejection. Those that promised you so much have turned out to be a bitter disappointment.
Where can we turn at times like this? As always the answer is the Word of God. It is the window into the heart of God and His everlasting faithfulness. It does not matter how many times people have failed us, we can place our trust in the Lord with the absolute confidence that He will never fail us. We can trust Him.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
