RR Psalm 55:24 Part 13
Shalom,
Psalm 55:24 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty, deceitful men will not live out half their days. But I—I will trust in You.
Va’ani Ev’tach Bach! So the Psalm ends, “And I will trust in You.” “Betach” is a Hebrew word we hear often in Israel. Ask any Israeli a question, especially when checking to verify you have the whole truth. You ask, “Can I take this bus to the city center?” The answer comes back, “Betach,” meaning, “You can count on it.” That means “Yes, but you better check.”
There are many places in Scripture where God tells us “Betach,” and when God tells you that, for sure you can count on God telling the truth. Everyone else, “trust but verify.” It is the first word of Proverbs 3:5 Trust in Adonai with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding.
God’s character is truth, and there is no deceit in Him. John 14:6a Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! God’s truth is contrasted with the devil’s lies. Yeshua said this to the Judeans who trusted Him. John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks lies he is just being himself—for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.” Verse 45 is the 5th time Yeshua connected Himself to the truth in this discourse.
“In God we trust.” It is on our money. Every time we handle cash, we’re handling that trust. God wants us to trust Him. When my middle daughter, Berelyn, was in pre-K (4 years old) she was scared by a loud clap of thunder, but quickly recovered by quoting this verse… Psalm 56:4(3) In a day when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. We should all learn that from a 4 year old. Shalom shalom.
