GOD'S LIGHT FOR THE WORLD

Put your Trust in God and not in Man.

Through out the Bible, man has strived to put their faith and trust in God, to see them through obstacles, famines, wars, and life itself.

We today are no different; we look to our God to keep us safe, free from harm and the evils of the world.

God cannot help us if we do not go to Him for that help. We must put ALL our TRUST in Him. Man cannot give us the one thing God can give and it is ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN.

Man cannot be trusted; we have seen that through out history. Ever since sin came into the world through Satan, man has become evil, thoughtless, selfish, untrustworthy, backstabbing, and so many other words to describe his cruelty to his fellow man.

Here are some Scripture Verses to show how to Trust in God, and what happens when we do, and what happens when we trust in man instead.

Psa 56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Jer 46:25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh and Egypt with their gods, and their kings even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him.

There are many more verses in scripture that speak of Trust in God. Please seek them out for yourselves. Read God's Word and see for yourselves why it is so important for us to Trust in God and not in man.

Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I would like to think that the above two verses show how much we must trust in God. The wide path which symbolizes man, leads to destruction, but the narrow path which symbolizes God leads to eternal life.

I would rather struggle up the narrow path, then to follow man on the wide path.
