Put my Bible down for the night before I go to bed, stopping in the dead middle of Psalm 146:3 KJV because it was surprisingly relevant to things user @hazlin has been proselytizing lately.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Hazlin's ideas can be generally summarized in the notions that we are spiritual beings in a land of the material and cannot trust in the material or others who are raised into importance of the material, and that only God can be depended upon. Since my rediscovery of the Christian faith in January as a desperate attempt to make sense of much that was going on during that time period, I resonate deeply with this passage and of course what Hazlin teaches.
The material world will fail you, as will the people in said world. It seems to echo similar sentiments I've often thought about. Things and people will let you down. I'll have to revisit this passage again when I'm not so tired. Maybe the meaning is not so cynical? Good night, Fedi.
