TEXT: PSALM 25:1-11
TOPIC: TRUST IN GOD

Trust in God is one of the central and core theological concepts of the Old Testament which shows the rich and deep relationship available to people when the stop relying on themselves, other people and gods.

Psalm 25:1-7 reveals David’s solid trust in the Lord in the face of treachery, blackmail and Betrayal. David was told, ‘Ahithophel your counselor in amongst the conspirators with Absolom.’ David said; ‘Oh, Lord, I pray you, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness'” (2 Samuel15:31). It is better to trust in the Lord than to put your confidence in man.

In Africa the stories of betrayals are very Common: spouse betraying one another’s trust, friends, colleagues and even some pastors are betrayers and backstabbers.

Many people are crying the deep emotional wounds of betrayal. David learned to trust God the hard way.

Dear Lord, give me the wisdom to watch my back, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
