In Us we trust? Wow!! Not me!!!

Romans 3:23 “ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

Isaiah 64:6

“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags

; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.”   I saw something on the television last night, a group of people were standing behind the phrase. "In us we trust".  I was alarmed by that.   I know many people have wonderful intentions.   Yet, when push comes to shove, we all fall short.    Even Simon Peter one of Jesus 12 Disciples denied Christ after being convicted he would die for Him.  All people are sinful by nature, even the Pope.   Personally, I will be continuing to put my Trust in God!!!   I know that even the best of people fail Miserably.   Who will you be trusting in today?

Jeremiah 17:5-8. "This is what the Lords says:  "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns alway from the Lord, 6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; He will dwell in the parched places of the dessert , in a salt land where no one lives. 7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green, it has no worries in the year of draught  and never fails to bear fruit."

Be the Tree!!🌲
