Our belief that our idol is essential + Fraility of idols= Fear that our idol will fail us
Instead of trusting God:
-We trust in things/ stuff: “political programs, economic theories, career options, philosophies, lifestyle options, entertainment programs…”
-We trust others: In their power, security, promises, charisma, etc.
-We trust ourselves: In our own ability, strength, knowledge, etc.
Why can we trust God? Because he won’t fail us!
-God is gracious
-God is powerful
-God is with us
