As we live our lives we discover what we can trust and what we can't.

One thing I've noticed is that both of those seem to go together with music. Just listen to country and western music and you'll learn all about the things you can't trust.

But a lot of beautiful music has also been written about the things (and the people) we can put our faith in.

I don't know if you've noticed, but over the centuries, there's something that has inspired a lot of music. Something that has inspired even more music than romance, or heartbreak, or bars, or cars.

And that's because there's no one you can trust like this...

"Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love" (Psalm 33:3-5, NIV).

Our Bible reading for Thursday, March 12, is Leviticus 25:1 - 26:13, Mark 16:1-20 and Psalm 33:1-11.

Lord, thank you for your faithful and unfailing love. Thank you for loving me enough to give me your word. I know I can trust you. Forgive me for the times when I doubt. Help me by your Holy Spirit's power to trust you with all my heart.
