Riding on a cloud

Whom do you trust? What do you trust? These two questions are key to evaluating the faith of God’s people. For Israel, there was the temptation to form a coalition with other nations to gain military strength against their enemies. For us, we are tempted to form alliances with things that offer security, such as jobs, financial wealth, or the government. None of these are inherently bad unless we allow them to replace our allegiance and trust in God.
