Scripture

Psalm 146

1 Praise the LORD!

Let all that I am praise the LORD.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.

4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.

5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.

6 He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.

7 He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners.

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.
The LORD loves the godly.

9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

10 The LORD will reign forever.
He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations.

Praise the LORD!

Observation

“Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.”

Isn’t this so true especially thinking about the elections that are just a few weeks away? Don’t put your confidence in any of the presidential candidates to keep the promises that they are making because they probably won’t. It would be wonderful if we had someone that was running for public office that really would be a person of integrity that we could put our confidence in.

But the truth is that people will at some point always let us down because they are not perfect, they are sinners just like we are. So we need to put our confidence in Someone Who will not let us down.

We need to put our trust, our confidence in the God that created us, the God that made everything that is around us He will never let us down. He always keeps His promises. He lifts up those that are weighed down and He loves the godly. He is Powerful enough to take care of every need we have.

Are you weighed down today? Why not put your confidence in the Lord right now?

Application

I will praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am not putting my trust today in powerful people. I am putting my trust in You!
