Trustworthy

Save me, Lord! We can no longer trust anyone! All the good, loyal people are gone. ~ Psalm 12:1 (ERV)

Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered, “Lord, where would we go? You have the words of eternal life. ~ John 6:67-68 (CEV)

Lord, the world is full of unstable people who want us to pay attention to them. So many people want us to listen to them and their confident opinions. They think they are authorities worth listening to. Sometimes it is really hard to know who I should trust. And sometimes, because I desire to be important or rich, I allow them to trick me into trusting them. That is sad. There is one thing I do know, though -- you don't ever trick us. You don't lie to us. You are true to your word. So, I am not going to be discouraged by all the pathetic people in the world. Instead, I'm going to look for and find eternal encouragement in you and your word. Amen.
