In God Alone

Written in a time when the Hebrew faith claimed one God while other faiths around them claimed many, the point of this Psalm seems to be making the case for the Holy “One and Only.” But it also names riches as a “god” that we sometimes “set our heart upon” as the confidence-setting end-goal. This speaks to us now as much as it did then. In our lifetime we have witnessed that as fleeting as breath is the notion of economic security. Whether we are feeling low or high of “estate” makes no difference. We can count on the steadfast presence of God.
