A '
The Degenerating Motto/' A Meditation
By Henry T. Poteet, Minister
Church of the A'a/.arene, Cedar Mill
For our meditation, may I tell you this true story of "The
Degenerating Motto." A friend of mine once gave me a small plastic
motto which sat on its base. It was constructed of materials that
glowed even in the darkest night. The motto read, "Trust In The
Lord." I would see these illuminated words at night and meditate
thus, "The Lord God does not dissappoint a trust; Christ honors
His word." Such a certain confi-
dence is ailed "faith."
But by some mishap this little
plaque of mine fell from its base,
and in the fall, the words "In The
Lord" were broken off. Yet not
being ready to part with my motto,
I took the one word that remained,
which read "Trust." Then I mused,
"It is good to trust in something
outside one-self." But my motto did
not tell me in whom to place my
trust. Remember how King David
in Psalm 20 said, "Some trust in
Chariots (their finest mode of
transportation), and some in
horses (on which men often gam-
bled), but we will remember the
Name of the Lord our God."
Then one morning I awoke to
find that my cherished plaque had
fallen again, and this time the
"T" on the front was broken and
"trust" had degenerated into
"Rust." My motto was ruined. So
it is in any man's life who fails
of Faith in the Lord God. When
trust in the Christ of God is gone,
or simply transferred to others, it
is not long until that man cannot

so much as trust man. Then there
is nothing left to those who lose
faith but to rust, and rust debases
the finest metals.
Have not the peoples of the God
of the Bible proven trustworthy?
How many non-Christian Nations
have builded worthy foundations
for the faith of mankind? Prom
whence the cancer that eats away
the hope of so many? Surely we
have a heritage in the Savior.
Then let us cultivate this faith,
lest we too should disintegrate
in the torrential storms of these
days.
