2025 Sunday Theme: Trust
📖 Scripture:
“It is better to trust in the Lord than to depend on human beings.”
— Psalm 118:8 (GNTD)
📚 Background:
Psalm 118 is a song of thanksgiving and victory, often quoted to affirm God’s steadfast love and deliverance. Verse 8 sits at the very center of the Bible and offers a central truth: our safest, wisest, and most joyful place is in trusting the Lord. In a world full of shifting opinions and unreliable promises, this verse calls us back to the One who never fails.
📝 Devotional:
Trust is more than belief—it’s surrender.
Psalm 118:8 reminds us that while people may disappoint, God never does. Human wisdom is limited, but divine wisdom is eternal. When we place our trust in the Lord, we anchor ourselves in something unshakable.
Trusting God doesn’t mean we ignore wise counsel or community—it means we filter everything through His voice first. When fear rises or plans falter, we can lean into the One who sees the whole picture and holds us securely.
Joy flows from trust. Not because everything is perfect, but because we know Who is guiding us through it.
💭 Reflection Questions:
- Where have you been tempted to depend more on people than on God?

🙏 Prayer:
Lord, help me to trust You above all else.
When I’m tempted to lean on human strength, remind me of Your faithfulness.
Teach me to rest in Your promises and walk in Your wisdom.
Let my heart find joy in trusting You.
Amen.
