Today’s Reading:
Psalm 115
“O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: He is their help and their shield.” (v.9)
The writer of Psalm of 115 was written to the house of Israel. Why? Verse 4 says their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. Some people decides to follow silver and gold as their god. They believe in hand work of men; mouth but speak not: eyes but they see not: ears but they hear not: noses but they smell not: hands but they handle not: feet but they walk not: neither have they spoken through their throat. Woe to them that trust in their god.
The writer advice to the house of Israel is in vs. 9-10, he said they should trust in the LORD: He is their help and shield. It’s only Jesus that can help and shield us, human being cannot be of help to you and I, our Lord Jesus Christ is available for us to trust in Him. Accept Jesus today in your life so that, He will help you in all ramifications of your life and also shield you. Trusting in God has benefited that idols of silver and gold.
Note, Creation cannot help you, only the Creator can help creation.
