God bless you.Note the first line of that great hymn, on Christ the Solid Rock I stand “I dare nottrust(completely, naively) the sweetest frame, but wholly(more)lean on Jesusname! This is not as easy as it sounds and we will briefly explore this.Main Texts: John 2:12-24, especially verses 23-24; Psalm 27:10-14.I think it’s much easier and natural for humans to trust what is visible andtangible: what we can see, hear and touch, than that which remainspredominantly invisible. Most of the time, we confess, “We walk by faith not mostof the time by sight.” As I said last week, we as humans are created in the imageof God and have talents & skills, some more than others, but generally speakingwe are creative, and also most have families.Clans, faith communities around us to lend a hand when needed. So it’s easier ifnot better or Biblically more advisable to do so: We’re only human!” Most of the time we can trust our back-ups. But because of our fractured human situation (Genesis 3), that's not enough for even, “mothers, father’s might forsake us, at times, but the Lord will(always) receive us”(Psalm 27:10). This teaching is both the hardest and most basic instruction of scripture: To put our ultimate trust in the Lord, why?A) Our physicality & visibility while God is predominantly “Spirit” & invisible. Andeven though we experience His Spirit at times in glorious ways it’s not likereceiving a helping hand from a visible, caring, loving person in our lives. Butsome, even our closest friends, etc, are capable of failing us. And if we arehonest will admit that some have. Again, note Jesus’s experience and statementin John 2:23-24. But it’s not about no trust, we are all created to be relational andin need of others, but ultimate final trust, remember the hymn!
