Trust in man , can never. ( Proverbs 3 v 5 )

 It was Napoleon who said that God was always on the side of the biggest battalion ,one writer pointed out that it was a dictum he lived to regret . When he invaded Russia he had an army of about 600,000 men, when he returned to France, he had 35,000 soldiers. Writing on Psalm 116 v 8,    which reads ,'It is better to trust in the Lord than man..... than princes, Herbert Lockyer comments,''Good it is to trust  in Jehovah'', 'It is better in every way to trust in the Lord to help us , because it is wiser , seeing He is more able to help us than the best of  men, who are only frail men at best.It is also safer to have Him  as the object of confidence,because we are always secure in His hands. Trust in man can never produce a sacred  calm of spirit, and sanctity of the soul, as the Lord can in the hearts of those who trust in Him'.

                                                  'Trust in the Lord with all 

                                                         of your heart'
