"God Never Made A Promise That was Too Good to be True"
"O’ Lord, even when it seems I can’t trust anybody, I know I can trust you. I believe Your word. Make my words as pure and trustworthy as yours. Amen."
Prayer
A Life reflection Short Story
“I need to borrow some money so I can go out for lunch. I’ll pay you back after my next pay check a co-worker say to you,. But two months and several hints later, you still don’t have your money back
Or maybe a friend has told you, “Thanks for letting me use your car. I’ll have it back early enough for you to get into church on time tonight.” But you end up waiting and then hurrying into church a half hour late.
Or a husband or wife has said, “I promise, dear, we’ll talk about it tonight,” But it never happens, and the issue that is harming the marriage keeps growing.
In my conclusion
David, wrote Psalm 12, felt the same way. We don’t know the specific situations that prompted his words, but he felt surrounded by untrustworthy people. He lamented. ”Everyone Lies”
Everyone, that is, except God. His words are pure and flawless, like silver that has been through a refiner’s fire seven times. We can Believe God. His promises stand. He cannot Lie.
Many people can give their words, but we can’t rely on what they say. After we get burnt a few times, we begin to feel that we can’t trust anybody.
