Psalm
146:3
Put
not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Jack
called at meeting in the chairman's absence. During the meeting, he outlined a
new proposal for restructuring a part of the firm. It was voted on and
approved, ignoring the rules that stated that no action could be taken in the
chairman's absence. When the chairman returned, he reconvened the meeting,
overturned the decision, and reminded the entire council of their bylaws. Jack
was reprimanded for usurping authority that was not his, and things got back to
normal.
It
is always wise to seek answers from the true authority. Decisions made by
people unqualified to make them often end in disaster. When we put our trust in
the wrong places, we may end up being hurt. The only safe place to put our
trust is in God. He will guide us in our decisions, He will give us sound
direction, and He will always be honest and truthful with us.
Prayer:
I look to many sources for guidance, Lord, but no one can offer me the help You
can. Help me place my total trust in You. Amen.
