But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12 NKJV)
Did you know that the shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117, the longest chapter is Psalm 119 and sandwiched between the two is Psalm 118 (Duh!), which some scholars say is the center chapter of the entire Bible?!
One very important verse in this central chapter is verse 8:
It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.
Trust in the finest of human beings will at some point result in disappointment. We are human, inherently prone to fall short of the expectations we place on each other, so it behooves us to leave some room for disappointment. But not so with God. Not at all! We can ALWAYS trust Him implicitly,even when we don't understand what He allows to happen in our lives at any given point. He does not make mistakes, He is always right on time, He knows everything, He is everywhere, He can do anything, He is love, He is righteous, HE DOES NOT CHANGE.
That knowledge, those truths give me peace. They indeed give me joy. They give me confidence in He whose thoughts and ways are exceedingly better than ours.
