Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.

Who are you going to trust to build an aeroplane? The pilot or the engineer? I’ll go for the engineer any day!

Who are you going to trust to fly the plane? The pilot or the engineer? I’ll go with the pilot this time!

Jesus has more knowledge and power than all the engineers and pilots put together! Our trust should be placed firmly in Christ’s hands and not in the worldly ways around us!

God did not create us so we could be gods. Trust Him to do what He can do and leave the rest to God.

Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus tried hard to make sure we do understand God’s law should not be grievous and impossible for us; He tells us here we should take anything to Him which we believe is too difficult for us to carry by ourselves.

Jesus came to give us a new life and a new beginning; one where we are able to go to Him with all our troubles and worries and allow Him to deliver us or give us rest.

I love Jesus; not just because He said this, but because He does it!

Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

God gave the Children of Israel many laws which seem impossible to keep. He did not do this so He could trip us up and blame us for doing things wrong.

God gave us laws to show us we could not keep all of the laws even if we wanted to – and we should want to.

But alongside that, man wrote many more laws and rules which are not right in God’s eyes, but to which He expects other people to stick with even though they cannot or will not.

Keep it simple and obey God!
