Who do you trust?

From 401k, to corporate stock options, and day trading, many of us have put our trust in the money that we make and the money we hope to have for retirement. We have been led to believe that if we trust in the money market systems of this world, our money will be there for us when we need it. It also seems of late that many people are putting their trust in men. As we hear, over and over again, about the turmoil in the financial districts of Wall Street, we are being told to trust the government to bail the failing economy out of its doldrums. Yet, its these same men that cannot agree on how to bail the economy out. We are also being bombarded with ads asking us to trust in a man or woman to lead us over the next four years as the president of this country. But, like most politicians, promises are made one day and forgotten the next. So the question is, who do you trust? If there ever was a time to trust in the Lord, that time is now. The Psalmist writes 'And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. ' Psalm 9:10 It is time to stop trusting our money, to stop trusting in man, and to start trusting in GOD. So the question again is, who do you trust?
