Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psalm 40:4, Luke 16:13,  Psalms 50 – 55

The word binary has gained popular credence in the digital age. Binary can mean “one or the other” or “on or off.” The first transistors were binary switches, either “open or closed.” The notion of binary decisions has given rise in the computer age to phrases like, “You can’t be a little bit pregnant/bankrupt/honest.” You either are or you aren’t.

Jesus made a binary statement in Luke 16:13 when He said it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters: God and money. If you are serving God, your heart can’t be set on money, and vice versa. Blessing comes to the one who chooses to trust and serve God instead of trusting in himself, in money, or in worldly wisdom. Blessed is the man who trusts in God (Psalm 40:4) and in His Word (Psalm 1:1-3). Our daily challenge is to weigh our trust: Is our trust in God or in ourselves?

If you are facing a faith-challenge today, make sure you aren’t trusting in two things at the same time. Trust in God and be blessed.

As long as we continue to trust to our own abilities and activities we shall avail nothing.
