Have you ever done a trust fall? I remember doing them in middle school -- at the time I wasn't wary that someone might fail me and let me fall. I suppose there were enough teachers to ensure compliance. You have to be fairly confidant in the group of people who are set up to catch you -- otherwise you're going to hit the ground hard.
We all set up systems that we trust. In the day of the Psalms, chariots and horses symbolize military strength, and there are still plenty of places around the world where that is trusted above all else. Others opt for beauty or youth or wealth or power.
All of those will collapse and fail. There's a long list of kingdoms that ruled most of the known world and have since faded into the pages of history.
The Lord's Kingdom, however, will stand forever. Daily, may we opt to place our trust there. For riches in God will never falter or be found wanting. Store up treasure in God's Kingdom, and there will be riches unimaginable.
