readings: Jeremiah 33:14-16; Psalm 25; Luke 21:25-28, 34-36

who do you trust the most?

the psalmist in psalm 25 talks about trusting in God. he writes, "i trust in you...no one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame..."

is your hope in God, or in the things that you want from him? the israelites had hoped for a mighty king to come in and free them from the oppression of the romans, but what they got was a baby in a manger, who 33 years later would die to pave their way back to God. definitely not what they were hoping for.

but no one would deny that this was the much better option.

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. (Psalm 130:7)
