A couple mornings ago I had an unusual experience.
While brushing my teeth, my toothbrush snapped.
Snapped.
There I was brushing away and suddenly my fingers grasped a headless toothbrush handle!
Shouldn't toothbrushes be dependable?  At least for 6 months until the next dental checkup freebie?
Had I placed too much trust in a physical object? 

I do that with people sometimes.
No - not snap their heads off
I mean place too much trust in them.  Depend on them with the attitude they are infallible.

Guess what?
People by nature are fallible. 
Only GOD is completely trustworthy.  HE'll never let me down.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.  They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.  ~  Psalm 20:7,8

P.S. - There is that "stand firm" again.  I haven't forgotten I want to do a post series on "standing firm".  Just not ready yet ;)
