Sometimes I get discouraged because I don't see a situation working out the way I think it should.  The people involved aren't doing things the right way, or they aren't following through, or maybe its just not fast enough.  Or, maybe they turn and go the other way when I hoped they would stay in one direction.  Its easy to lose hope when that happens. 

John 2:23-25 (New International Version)
 23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. 25He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.

Its a lot easier to keep a positive attitude when you keep you focus on the right person.  When we trust things to man (man's nature) we will be disappointed or hurt. People aren't perfect.  But when we trust God to work things out, He always does it perfectly.  God never fails!  We should love our neighbors, but trust God.

( Mark 11:25 , New King James Version )     20 If someone says, “I love

Psalm 125

1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. 4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
