Dear friends in Christ grace and peace to you. 
The message for this week comes from 
Isaiah 44:6-8.

 Don’t depend on your leaders for help. Don’t depend on people, because they cannot save you. People die and are buried. Then all their plans to help are gone.
 It is a great blessing for people to have the God of Jacob to help them. They depend on the LORD their God. (Psalm 146:3-5)

When was the last time someone asked you to trust them? What were your thoughts? Were you skeptical? How we react to being asked to trust someone depends on who is doing the asking. If it’s someone we’ve known for a long time and they have a reputation for being trustworthy, it’s easier to trust that person. But if it’s someone we don’t know or even if we do know them but have reason to believe that they don’t always hold up their end of the bargain; we are more skeptical and less likely to trust in that individual. In today’s world it is a challenge to know what really is truth.

In our reading for this week from Isaiah the Lord makes it known that he is to be trusted and he cites some examples of being true to his word. One of the characteristics of a trustworthy person is that they are impeccable with their word. They say what they mean and they do what they say they will do. As imperfect people that we are, we are not always impeccable with our word; we don’t always say what we mean and we don’t always do what we say we will do.

God makes it clear in our reading from Isaiah that he and he alone can be trusted. God is the only being in which we can put our trust and know that we will be safe with him. We can look to human leaders to make our lives great again but the reality is that the only great life we can have is with Jesus Christ in it. God promises that we will be redeemed and that we will have hope of eternity in paradise. In God we trust.

May the peace of God be with all of you as you trust in the one true God.
