Psalms 115:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! \u00a0Why should the nations say, \u201cWhere is their God?\u201d \u00a0Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. \u00a0Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. \u00a0They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. \u00a0They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. \u00a0They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. \u00a0Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. \u00a0O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. \u00a0O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. \u00a0You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. \u00a0The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; \u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great. \u00a0May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! \u00a0May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth! The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man. \u00a0The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence. \u00a0But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!<\/p>\n

False gods draw men down, never up.\u00a0False worship is not innocent and ultimately the worshipers will perish together with their idols.\u00a0\u00a0Trusting in God, the one and only true God, is not wasteful like these idols made from the hand of man.\u00a0 God is limitless, all powerful, all mighty, everlasting, Holy, and just.\u00a0 Despite our many disappointments in looking to other place for a help and shield, we are often quick to repeat the mistake.\u00a0 We seem to trust in our own plans and strength when things turn sideways.\u00a0 We seek solution, quick fix, and usually something or someone other than God first.\u00a0 Keep God’s word in your heart, mind, and soul.\u00a0 Think on it always.\u00a0 God’s presence is always with us and He is able to do more than we ask and much more than we can imagine.\u00a0 Keep praise on your lips, love in your heart, and trust in your soul for God always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
