Psalms 118:8-9
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man, it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
Inspiration.
Everyone has said one thing and done the other.
Even family members and good friends sometimes disappoint us because we are weak, imperfect, sinful people.
And of course public officials promise one thing while campaigning, then when they win and take office they do the complete opposite thing.
But our Creator God always does for us what He says that He will do, because He is perfect, holy and all-powerful.
And His Holy Scriptures has many promises that we can be assured that He will keep and we can claim for ourselves.
Therefore, we can put our total and complete confidence and trust in Him at all times.
Prayer (for you)
Eternal God,
How great You are.
There are so many promises that are in Your Holy Scriptures that we can claim for ourselves because we know that You will keep every promise that You have made.
