“Many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him. But Jesus didn't entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were.” (John 2:23-24 MSG)
Jesus knew not to entrust His life to humanity. He knew that we were inherently unstable.
When installing a cabinet on a wall, it is imperative to anchor it to the stud behind the drywall. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time before everything comes crashing down. Humanity is a lot like drywall or plaster. We can bear a bit of weight, but not too much. Thus, relying on other human beings or anything conceived by human minds is short-sighted and unwise.
Lord, behind the facade of our human lives, You hold up everything substantive. Teach me to seek You and anchor my weighty concerns upon You and only You.
