Trust (Proverbs 16:20)

Everyone needs something or someone to trust in. In my experiences I have found that all things are untrustworthy except the Lord. He never fails.

"He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] Word shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts and is confident in the Lord, happy, blessed, and fortunate is he." Proverbs 16:20, Amplified

There is nothing in the world that we can touch or experience that will fulfill us the way the Lord can. There is nothing in this world that we can trust in that will not let us down. Everything fails. The physical law of entropy I feel can be translated into the spiritual: everything breaks down. But the Lord, He never fails.
The words "it shall come to pass" appear 120 times in the Bible. The words "it came to pass" appear 176 times in the Bible. This more than compensates for all the times the Lord says that something will come to be.
The Lord has proven Himself faithful to humanity trough the centuries even to the point of sacrificing His Son to satisfy the need for blood. If our trust in solely in Him, then happy are we. If we lean solely one Him, then blessed are we. If we have confidence in nothing else other than Him then fortunate are we.
