23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel (Jeremiah 3:23).
To look to anywhere or to any person other than to God for ultimate hope and salvation is of no use. It is in the Creator, the maker of heaven and earth that we are to place our trust. In God we trust. Is this just a slogan, or should it be a way of life? Our hope and trust should not be in any government, or any individual. It is not to say that governments, and individuals are not important but to recognize that they are not superior to God, and are under God’s dominion. Additionally, anything of this world is temporary, but the good news of the Gospel is that our hope is in the permanent unchanging God of all-Creation.
