Am I trusting in God's Shield or my own?

 Psalm 33:18  

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;



In what ways do we hope in our own devices, and block the Lord’s eye from being upon us.  Is our shield the Lord or are we trusting in our own devices for our protection and our eternal stability.


I really believe that the Lord allows instability into our lives to shake our trusts from our own devices.  Are we trusting in the means of Grace or the Grace giver?  that is the question for my soul this morning.


Some false hopes and distractions from the trust in the Lord’s mercy:


self goodness

past successes

exposure to godly

mental accumen

emotional stability

etc.
