God’s Word for Today - 21 Jan 2025
Jeremiah 9:4 KJV — Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 21 Jan 2025
I believe very much that if it wasn’t necessary God will not have warned us to beware of others and not to trust anyone absolutely, not even those in the household of faith. Human beings carry a defective nature that most times think mostly of self and self first and even self alone. So when they have to make a choice between sacrificing your trust in them and satisfying their own needs, they will choose the latter at your detriment. This is the root of several dysfunctional and broken relationships in the world today, and sadly too, the cause of infractions and wars among communities and nations. Trust once broken is extremely difficult to restore and it can lead to incurable anger and bitterness, especially among those who are not in Christ. Heed God’s warning today.
Pray: Oh Lord God, thank You for the timely warning not to put confidence in human beings. Help me to trust You alone absolutely. #Mok
