Trusting Only in the Sure Foundation

John 2:24

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.

Jesus knew that He could not put His trust in any man.  He knew their nature, their dispositions, their affections and their evil schemes. Jesus knew what we need to know. Simply put, man cannot be trusted, especially ourselves.  The evil within the heart of each man is a snare that cannot be overcome without the grace of Our Savior.

We must put our trust in Jesus Christ alone.  If we put our trust in Him, we will find it appropriate to love Him above all things. If we put our trust in Him, we will be drawn to love our neighbors as ourselves.  If we put our trust in Him, we will be guided and equipped to tell others about Him and to give Him all the glory.  If we put our trust in Jesus, we will live according to the plans that He has set aside for us.

If we doubt the Lord in any area and put our trust in man instead,  we will fall short of God's plans for our lives.  For the fullness of life, we must trust the grace of God in all things.

Let us put our trust completely in the Son of God.  Let us make Our Savior the foundation of our lives.  Let us make Jesus the center point of all that we do.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we praise You and thank You for providing Your Son, Jesus, to be the foundation of our trust in You and Your promises to us.  May we live each day in complete faith that Your Word is the foundation upon which our lives are built and sustained.  May we face each day knowing that Your Son is the source of everything we need.  May we lean not on anything from man, but seek everything from Your grace.  We ask all these things in the name of our all-sufficient Lord, Jesus Christ.
