In today's society we have come to rely on so many other things & people for sources of trust & hope instead of God. Expecting them to fulfill us in the ways we desire, only to find these illegitimate sources leave us empty every time. We must know & understand that we are not designed to place our hope or trust in any other person or any God given resources, for they are not designed to provide for us what only God can.
When you place your hope and trust in someone or something it means that you place your belief and expectation in it, for it to produce a desired outcome in your life. When you trust in illegitimate sources you are now placing trust & faith in created beings & resources instead of their creator, and they will fail you every time. Other people and earthly resources do not have the capacity to provide the stability or fruit from our lives that trusting & hoping in God can, honestly in the long run they only lead to destruction. When you find broken homes, relationships and people the culprit behind the breaking can most times be attributed to trusting & hoping in the wrong sources.
But don't be discouraged!! For there is great consolation found in God's word!!
Jeremiah 17:7,8 says “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. (NKJV)
You see when you Trust in God you will be blessed externally & internally! When you realize He is your hope you can rest knowing that your expectations in Him will not fail or falter, because according to His great promises He will accomplish His perfect will in your life!! When your life is rooted in God not only will your life be blessed but He will give you strength & peace in hard times, so that you will not be fearful of its presence. Further He gives you wisdom & perseverance so that seven in times of lack you won't be anxious or moved but you'll and strong. Finally when your trust & hope is in God He will allow your life to produce pleaSing fruit that Glorifies Him & edifies others.
