Is your confidence in you, or in God?

 

Where Do We Place Our Faith, Trust And Hope?

Sometimes I feel anxious about things that happen in the world.  This is particularly true in regard to changes that I see in our culture—changes in attitudes, values and behaviors.  There are changes happening that don’t seem positive, to me.  There are so many things that could be said about this matter and there many things that could be said about how to respond to these realities. 

But for this brief post my simple thought is this: It’s helpful for me to remind myself, frequently, that my ultimate faith is not in our culture; our government; technological advancement; effective social engineering; legal remedies; or improved psychological understanding and treatment.  These things are not without value and they have their place.  But my ultimate faith, trust and hope is in God.
