VERSE:
   Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of
what account is he?
    -- Isaiah 2:22

THOUGHT:
   God will humble the arrogant. He has a day designated to do
this. But, until that day dawns, God's Kingdom people must live
knowing that even the apparently powerful will be brought to ruin.
We shouldn't trust in human power; it can evaporate like dew in the
desert. Human power is limited by death. When the breath of a
tyrant is gone, so is his power. Once the life of an evil person is
over, all that is left is the evil. Our trust must be in Yahweh
Sabbaoth, the Lord God of heaven's armies. Anything else is a dim,
small, and distorted reflection of the real thing.

PRAYER:
   Abba Father, forgive me for those times that I have relied on my
own savvy, my own wits, and my own insight to life. Forgive me for
not trusting in your deliverance and relying on underhanded ways or
improper partners. Please cleanse me and create in me a pure heart
and an unquenchable passion for you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
