Put Your Hope in God, Not in People

Good morning 🌅

This morning’s word from Scripture…📖

Psalm 146:3.
…
“Do not put your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
In the country where we live, Japan,
there are people who govern and lead in politics.
…
Japan is… first-rate in economy and technology.
Its politics, though, has long been called third-rate…😅
Personally, I feel it has fallen even further…
to fourth-rate, fifth-rate…😨
*️⃣Please pray for our country.
…
Isaiah 2:22.
…
“Stop trusting in man,
whose breath is in his nostrils.
What is such a person worth?”
…
is also written❗️
…
In the real world around us,
there seem to be more and more cases where
“the wicked prosper, and the honest are made fools of”❗️
…
There is a reality in which
“those who work hard are not always rewarded,” and people “suffer in illness and die with regrets.”

There are many injustices around us.
But
if “God rules over this world,”
then surely
a time will come when honesty is rewarded.
…
“We must not make imperfect, limited human beings (those in power, or others) our absolute refuge.”
…
1 Peter 1:21.

“Our faith and hope are in God❗️”
…
Holding on to that hope… let us walk again this morning❗️

Shalom 😄
