“It is better to TRUST IN THE LORD Than to put confidence in man.” (Psalm 118:8)
An interesting fact about this verse AMY, There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118, and 594 chapters after it, which makes this the center scripture of the Bible and just as a point of interest, The longest chapter of the Bible falls just after this center chapter– Psalm 119 and The shortest chapter of the Bible is right before this center chapter– Psalm 117.
But the more vital fact of this chapter is it’s extremely important significance about our TRUSTING IN THE LORD! Because our God is omniscience, He knows ALL THAT THERE IS TO KNOW about EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW. Albert Einstein’s and Stephen Hawkin both had an IQ of 160 they knew less than 1% of all knowledge there is in the world, that is about the best man can do. Therefore, it is better to TRUST IN GOD, who knows 100% of all there is to know, than man, who only knows less than 1% of all there is to know.
So, how much should we trust in God? “Trust in the LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART; do not depend on your own (less than 1%) understanding. In ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge (yâda‛: used to signify an intimate, covenant relationship between God and man) Him, And He will make YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.” (Pro. 3:5-6)
