In Psalm 118:8-9, the very middle passage of the Bible, we find this extraordinary reminder:
It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.
All around us we find pressures to trust in so many things — money in the bank, retirement plans, insurance policies, even in governments and individuals — and yet the Word of God is clear! It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. While economic downturns may drain us of worldly comforts, the Lord will never fail. While friends and family may hurt us, God is always faithful, an ever present help in time of need. That's why this passage is so foundational — it is better to trust in the Lord, always and for all things!

In this message you will learn what true, lasting trust in the Lord looks like, and how to walk in abiding faith in God. You will want to take a listen to this important message, and then share it with others!
As always, your gifts to Bridging the Gap make it possible for us to reach listeners throughout the Northeast, the United States, and abroad with this important message of faith in God!Lloyd Pulley has served as senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB) in central New Jersey since 1984.
