God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
'Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.' Jesus urges His followers to place their full trust in God and Him, assuring them that their hearts need not be troubled by the uncertainties of life.
Material affluence in no respect lessens my need to rely on God. Actually, it increases it. I am in greater spiritual danger when I have plenty than when I have nothing. Hence the almost greater need of the wealthy to cry to God for mercy that they may not fail to trust Him.
