Day 219: Psalm 49:12-13

"People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve of their sayings." ~Psalm 49:12-13, NIV

These verses describe our opposite - those who don't trust in God like we do, who don't actively believe that Jesus' death is enough to save us. Like everyone, we die. Our bodies are going to fail one day, and as far as I understand, on that day our spirits will awaken. For those who trusted God? We'll endure in glory.

For those who trusted themselves? Their possessions? Luck? Their good deeds? They'll wither in agony.

That doesn't have to be you. Jesus says that He is the way, the truth, and the light. There's no one else who can give you what Jesus can, and that is peace. That is confidence. That is assurance.

And you don't have to believe me, but that's the truth - granted, it's tainted by my interpretation, but you can find an untainted version here.
