Where do you place your trust?

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
(Psalms 20:7 (NIV))
With the state of the economy, where do you place your trust?
With the state of the government, where do you place your trust?
With the state of society, where do you place your trust?
With the state of the world, where do you place your trust?
Is it just me, or does it seem like everything is falling apart? It is acceptable to kill unborn children but it is a profoundly intolerable crime to kill an animal. It is acceptable to embrace sin, but to confess that you are a follower of Jesus is socially unacceptable. It is okay to teach our children about Islam in schools, but if we mention Jesus we are told to be tolerant. It is okay to allow someone who very publicly states they want to destroy us to have the very weapons that would allow it to happen, yet we cannot have weapons to defend ourselves. It is okay to be homosexual, transgender or whatever else someone's mind tells them that they should be, yet if we say we disagree with their choices, we are labeled as haters.
In the midst of all that is going wrong in the world, where do you place your trust?
Every man-made organization is falling apart. Sinful man cannot create anything that will last.
Even the church is having issues. Let me clarify this. Society thinks of the man-made aspects of the church and not the true church. Man-made traditions are falling apart. God's truths last forever and no amount of societal pressure can change that. Think about that last statement and then decide where you will place your trust. Would you place your trust in the fallen systems created by a sinful, fallen humanity or would you trust a perfect Creator who has a perfect plan?
Take a long, hard look at all that is going on in the world and tell the Lord our God that you place your trust solely in Him?
