Passage: Psalm 118:7-9

The Lord is on my side as my helper;

I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord

than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord

than to trust in princes.

Reflection:

It is easy to turn to the people around us when we face difficult situations. Often, we want to ask a friend or family member for advice before we ask the Lord. This passage reminds us that the Lord is the best person to trust. He is our safe place and refuge. He will NEVER sin against us or lead us astray. He has control over all things. Amazingly, the Lord not only wants to support us in hard times, but He also desires to see us succeed. He is our biggest cheerleader and the one who can offer us the best advice. This week look to the Lord first. It will be worth it!
