Chapter 117: The Truth Endureth forever.
Praise
the Lord and know that His truth endures forever!
Chapter 118: The Head Stone
“It
is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man” (Psalms
118:8)
We need to understand that the Lord
and His truth endure forever. Men will always try to deceive and tell us what is
right. But we need to take strict heed to the counsel of this verse. Do not put
our trust or confidence in man, but only in the Lord.
“The
stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” (Psalms
118:22) Jesus is the headstone, so we read; the man which the people
refused, became the Savior of man. This is essentially the same thing. It
would be like construction workers refusing to accept the only stone that would
complete and hold up their structure and by placing anything else their as the “head
stone” the building will not stand.
We know
that this verse is referring to Jesus because later in Acts 4:10-11 we read; “Be
it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which
was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner”
Blessed is he that comes in the name
of the Lord.
