Trusting

NO doubt you know that over in England, they use money that is not quite the same as ours. They have what they call a “pound” which is a piece of paper money, about the same as our five-dollar bill. They would tell us it was worth twenty shillings.
Many years ago a man wrote the following little rhyme on the back of a “pound note”.
This piece of paper in your hand,
Declares to you that on demand,
You twenty shillings shall receive.
This simple promise you believe.
So Christ who died, and now loth live,
Doth unto you this promise give;
That if you on His name believe,
You shall eternal life receive.
Upon the first you calmly rest.
Which is the surest and the best?
The bank may break, heaven never can;
‘Tis safer trusting God than man.
“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:88It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:8).
