WHERE AM I LOOKING?

Today's reading: Lamentations

"We looked in vain for our allies to come and save us, but we were looking to nations that could offer no help at all." Lamentations 4:17 NLT

How easily we think our comforts and conveniences can help us in times of trouble.

But our money lets us down when health fails...

Our fine homes become prisons when the world around us riots...

Our governments levy taxes and overstep our rights...

Our hobbies chain themselves to our lives...

Our useless gods jeer at us from their shelves...

It's then that we find we've been placing stock in the wrong things. Putting our trust in areas that were less than trustworthy. Depending on the wrong things the whole time.

God is our only hope.
