Psalm 31:14
14 But I trusted [batach] in thee, O LORD [Yahovah]:
I said ['amar], Thou art my God ['elohiym]. KJV-Interlinear
14 But
as for me, I trust in Thee, O Lord, I say, "Thou art my God." NASB
And while the world
devises all manner of plans to do away with truth, with God, and with you,
there is one sure and certain thread that runs throughout history, which is
Jesus Christ.
Most of humanity cannot
see beyond the scope of this world.
Rulers want to build
empires. Celebrities want to build their notoriety. Common folks are tied up in their social
lives or hobbies, or just getting by in life.
While the greater truths
of reality have to do with God and Satan, and the game of history that will eventually
lead us all into eternity. And one way or another, that is where everyone is
going to end up.
God designed the logistics
of this life to help you survive while you prepare yourself for your spiritual
future.
The world tries to convince
us all that the world is all that there is.
That we are all simple links in a never ending chain that has brought us
out of the caves and heading us into something better. But then that something doesn’t seem to apply
to anyone except future generations. And
it is all a lie, but a very successful lie, because it has convinced the
greater numbers of people, that there is nothing to faith, that only the
secular things in life are real.
And if you place your
faith in the world, then you have nothing except what we studied yesterday,
which is that you have nothing.
There is no trust in the
world, not in any aspect of it. We have
already seen that.
The only trust is in
Christ, who is the Lord, who controls history, even though you cannot see that
control.
The Lord, is Jesus
Christ, who is man, but also, He is a member of the trinity, God or ‘elohiym,’
in the plural. And the plural is used
here in contrast to the plans of man, because God has a plan, a perfect
plan. The Father authored the plan, the
Son executes the plan, and the Spirit reveals the plan.
