March 7 Evening Devotional | Trust in the Rock of Ages | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon
Evening, March 7 | “It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.” —Psalm 118:8
This Evening's Scripture Reading: Psalm 118:1-9
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
Because his mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them now that fear the LORD say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
I called upon the LORD in distress:
The LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear: What can man do unto me?
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
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.”
Devotional Video Transcript:
Doubtless, you have been tried with the temptation to rely upon the things which are seen, instead of resting alone upon the invisible God. Christians often look to man for help and counsel, and mar the noble simplicity of their reliance upon their God.
Does this evening’s portion meet the eye of a child of God anxious about physical needs? Then would we reason with him for a while. You trust in Jesus, and only in Jesus, for your salvation, then why are you troubled? “Because of my great care.” Is it not written, “Cast your burden upon the Lord”? “Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication make known your wants unto God.” (Philippians 4:6)
Cannot you trust God for physical needs? “Ah! I wish I could.” If you cannot trust God for the physical, how dare you trust him for the spiritual? Can you trust him for your soul’s redemption, and not rely upon him for a few lesser mercies? Is God not enough for your need, or is his all-sufficiency too narrow for your wants? Do you want another eye beside that of him who sees every secret thing? Is his heart faint? Is his arm weary? If so, seek another God; but if he is infinite, omnipotent, faithful, true, and all-wise, why do you roam abroad so much to seek another confidence? Why do you scour the earth to find another foundation, when this is strong enough to bear all the weight which you can ever build thereon?
Christian, do not mix your wine with water, do not alloy your gold of faith with the dross of human confidence. Wait only upon God, and let your hope be from him. Covet not Jonah’s gourd, but rest in Jonah’s God. Let the sandy foundations of terrestrial trust be the choice of fools, but you, like one who foresees the storm, build for yourself an abiding place upon the Rock of Ages.
