Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. Proverb 3:5-6



Mr. Jones gathered all his materials into his brief case and hurriedly told his wife his intention; he was to travel several miles for about nine hours that night. He could not be persuaded to push it over to the next day he was made up just for the business appointment he had fixed to meet up. He was not such a good driver to use his car for such a long journey; more so, he did not have the confidence to keep his heartbeat normal and his head calm through out the whole night with such an attempt. He had no other option than to make the journey by a commercial bus. After a nice meal prepared by his wife, which he rushed over, he was set and his wife and children gave him a nice parting gesture.

He was already in his destination in his mind, as he dashed into the transport office and picked a ticket, and with commitment entered and settled down for the journey as his luggage were arranged. He had a few minutes nap before the journey commenced; he was stressed up.

The driver was the best of the drivers; a gently looking and lanky young man. As he zoomed forward, Mr. Jones was very happy, there and then he had started the calculation of when he would arrive at his destination and discuss his share of profit with Mr. Krain. Half way through the journey, it was quite smooth but along the journey after then were some rough experiences, the passengers anxieties and cries were too mean to prevent the impending horror nor was the driver able to fathom the cause and solution; - it was a fatal accident. Some passengers lost their lives, some were in critical state of health and others were stranded; trapped in a strange place in the dead of the night with intermittent remembrances of the horror. Mr. Jones sustained serious injuries, stranded and could not meet up the business appointment as scheduled.

They all boarded the bus without knowing the driver but they all entrusted their precious lives to the experience of the driver and the quality service of the transport corporation. All of them were disappointed; unfortunately many of them were not alive to know exactly the cause of their untimely exit from life.
This mistake is common to all, if all confidence is in human drivers; the stranger probably do not know nor can we really assess its mechanical state of the vehicle yet we put our precious lives which God ranked more valuable than all the wealth in the whole universe into such uncertainties it is a “foolish entrust”
We trust men’s mere experiences and expertise than the sure arms of the almighty, and this is foolish of us. Trusting limited men and women in this sphere who are subject to mistakes with our lives, future and dreams is more or less preparing to be a part in the subsequent disasters


You will be acting foolishly friend, if you have to trust man with your precious life, which has no duplicate. The only one life you have is better insured in the hand of God than throw it foolishly to beast or weakened men who will play with them to the grave or make them faithfully useless for rain of disgrace to drench and sun of calamity to scotch.

Weakness and carelessness is inherent in man; he cannot insure his life. No man can lift well the burden off you, no man can properly gauge the intensity of your pains; no man is capable of doing this in himself let alone on others. Your trust of precious life into the hand of men will not only give you tales of frustration it may lead to untimely death”

“Woe unto him who makes man his trust” Your life to God is the most valuable, and he loves to help you keep it safe if you will let him do that. Your future to him is wonder if you let him have it and your godly dreams and vision are very possible yet they are too much and delicate for you or any other to carry or bear except you let God bear and process them well.

That is why Jesus said, “come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest. He took the most risky journey in life, to get you well secured in the journey of life. The road from Gethsemane to Golgotha was most dreadful, painful and burdensome with the cross on which all sins hanged to secure the “precious life” of yours No other place or person or means of conveyor can well protect the most expensive creature of God that you are. Than the provision in “God’s insurance scheme”

The best of your decision friend is to come unto God with all burdens of sins, dreams, pains, vision and affliction in to the vehicle of his peace, which the driver is the ancient of days. He knows all the roads in life quite well, their various junctions, and understand the road maps and their features. He can travel either in the day or night. He understands the language of the storm, cloud, sky and the mountain. He understands the language of all the creatures, their chemistry and composition. By these excellent attribute of His he can carry you through safe. Come unto him today and drop all your burden, journey and anticipation on him. You are sure to enjoy never failing insurance scheme of God
Evil and calamities may surround many, but the trust On God is His protection “many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trust in the Lord, mercy shall surrounds Him. Psalm 32:10.s
