Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the Name of the Lord our God. (NIV)

The bashing of the people we politically dislike seems to worsen. The blind trust and praise of people who hate our enemies (real or imagined) appears to dominate the thoughts, words, and behavior of our society.  However, our trust is misplaced if it follows the way of the world.  Our faith is misguided if it is in the rhetoric of any man or organization. If our confidence is only in our own strength or in the belief of the weakness of others, than our strength and confidence are vested in things that wither, die, or pass away.

Take heart.  There is a cause for hope. There is a reason to trust and have faith that there is a better way. This occurs when our beliefs and values are vested in that which is permanent and do not whither or die.  Ultimately and finally, all things pass away, save that which lie in the hands of God alone.
