Psalm 115
We can identify many challenges and issues in our life that seem so complex, creating problems and stress and robbing us of peace and a sense of well being. We may find our efforts to know God are a struggle, and a consistent, victorious relationship is elusive. It comes down to a simple matter of whether we live for ourselves and strive in our own strength or relinquish all that we need to God. God is truth; His way is one of grace and loving kindness. He meets our needs, not for our sake but that He might receive the glory of our faith and worship. Otherwise, we would take credit for success and working out our problems, which in essence is idolatry, instead of giving glory to God. Putting anything above God, even exalting oneself in a futile self-confidence, is no different from the stone and wooden idols worshipped by Israel's pagan neighbors.
We should remember that God is a living and personal God. He sees and knows our every need.
