ISAIAH 2:22
"Do not put your trust in mere humans, they are as frail as breath. What good are they?"
I have often told my family that they should never put their trust in a man. Humans will fail you every time. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No one is good, no not even one. That means that it is folly to put our trust in mere humans. As Jesus said, " only God is good." There are so many examples of where our trust in someone was destroyed by some sinful act or revelation of their true character and morals. We then have to examine how there actions did not equal their words. It can make us question the truth and sincerity of that person. It should not make us question the Word of God that never fails and is always Truth!
Men are weak and frail and dying. They may have breath in their nostrils, but it is for such a short time in relation to our worlds time. We have to ask ourselves in comparison to all that has occurred and will occur, what is one man and what is their true worth. The lesson and the truth for today is that if you want to have absolute trust, have it in God and His Word. Always seek God and His Word first in everything that you do.
This does not mean that we can never trust anyone. The measure of trust will be equal to the comparison of the word of the man to the Word of God. The measure of trust will be equal to the actions of the man to the admonitions of God. It goes without saying that if someone does not even believe in God, then you should not have any trust in them. A fool says in his heart there is no God and why would we want to trust or rely on a fool? The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God and if someone does not fear God, then they have no wisdom. In God we Trust is more than just a slogan or imprint on our money. It is the way we need to live. WHO DO YOU TRUST? The answer is God.
