Read Psalm 118:5-9

⁵ In my distress I called to the Lord;

he answered me and set me free.

⁶ The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid;

what can anyone do to me?

⁷ It is the Lord who helps me,

and I will see my enemies defeated.

⁸ It is better to trust in the Lord

than to depend on human beings.

⁹ It is better to trust in the Lord

than to depend on human leaders.

The end of this Psalm is a celebration of victory - it would have been prayed by Jesus and his disciples during the final week of his life.

Jesus death on the cross - his obedience to God's call - indicates complete trust in God for justice.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on human beings.

Lord help me to trust in you 100%; to find my identity and my joy in you. So that I would be a blessing to others.
