"You Who Fear the Lord..."

“You Who Fear the Lord…”

Blessings folk!

A little more about trusting in the Lord.

Read the following.
Give attention to the context.
What is being compared?
What do we learn about trust?

Psalm 115

1
Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
2
Why should the nations say,
“Where, now, is their God?”
3
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
4
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.
5
They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6
They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7
They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8
Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9
O Israel, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.

We and Israel and the house of Aaron are all called to trust the Lord.
He is our help.
He is our shield
We who fear the Lord trust in the Lord.

In what does the world trust?
Look at verse 4 again.

Their idols.
