"It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8

I've been reading Morning and Evening Daily Readings by Charles Spurgeon. The evening verse for Monday was the above verse. Spurgeon says, "If you cannot trust God for temporals, how dare you trust Him for spirituals? Can you trust Him for your soul's redemption, and not rely on Him for a few lesser mercies? Is not God enough for thy need, or is His all-sufficiency too narrow for thy wants?" What a reminder of how big our God is. How often do we put Him in a box and assume we can handle the things of this world, if only He will tend to our spiritual being? And often we do not even allow Him to do even that! I forget who my Creator is. I forget who my Father is. I forget the great Love He has for me. I forget the pain and suffering that took place on the cross for my sin. I forget to 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord'...all my burdens, both worldly and spiritually. What a reminder this is to look to Christ for all my needs.
