Who Should I Trust?

In the midst of this financial crisis, there is a great deal of greed and corruption. None of us are unfamiliar with it, but this time it feels to me like it is even more “in your face”. Leaders in Corporate America seem to continuously make decisions that are blatantly unethical, bordering on criminal, without conscience and, in fact, quite boldly. Politicians posture and promise, but in the end seem to only seek their own self interests. There seems to be little accountability or recourse. It can all be very frustrating. I have personally been impacted, as have most people I know. So the question begs “Who should I trust”?

Isaiah 2:22 says:

“Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?”

Let the reality of this statement set in for a moment. Am I trusting in men who have but breath in their nostrils? What do they know anyway? Will my constant complaining about them only serve to lend more credence to their position? It sure does make me think about who it is I am really trusting, and Who it is I really need to trust…
