Psalm 146
We are tempted, in this world, to place our hope in ourselves, in others, in financial security, etc. These are all idols and we are commanded to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, and mind (Exodus 20, Matthew 22:37-40).
Other places in scripture also tell us that, like it does in today's verse, worship of self or others will not save - see also posts here, here and here.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an incredible God, full of love and compassion for me even though I am not deserving. Thank You Jesus. I need You desperately, to save me and to forgive me from my sins and to save me from the sting of sin and death. Please forgive me for my sin and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure Lisa of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. v3
