July 9, 2022 Bible Study — Do Not Put Your Trust In Human Institutions

Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 143-150.

There are two lines from the first of today’s psalms that resonate with me: “Show me the way I should go,” and “Teach me to do Your will,”   Later the psalmist tells us how we can open ourselves up to God to receive that direction.  We do so by meditating on God’s works, think about what God has done, both in our lives and in the world around us.  As we do so we will see that those who make God their Lord will be blessed and that God watches over those who love Him.  The psalmist also tells us that those who truly see the works which God has performed will praise Him.  I commit myself to praising God every day for as long as I live.  I will not put my trust in any human being, and certainly not in any government, or any other human institution.  No, I will put my trust and faith in God.  I know that no human power will make the world a better place.  We will not make the world better because we are strong, or determined, or wise, or intelligent.  We will only make the world a better place by fearing God and relying on His love.

 

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
