“Nothing is too great
and nothing is too small
to commit into the hands of the Lord.”
– A. W. Pink
Stop trusting in man,
who has but a breath
in his nostrils.
Of what account is he?
Isaiah 2:22 NIV
How many times have you been disappointed by someone for whom you voted, betrayed by a friend, been abandoned by a loved one, or let down by a church leader? While we love others and care about them, every other person in our world is just like us — a flawed human being who breathes the same air and walks the same ground as we do. Only God is worthy of our ultimate trust. He showed us by sacrificing what was most precious to him so we could know his love. Let’s not put our hope in other mere mortals; only God can safeguard our trust. Let’s put our hope in him!
Father, you know the broken places
in my heart that were caused by
the failure of people in my life.
I confess that I have sometimes
become disillusioned with your way
because of the failures and
inconsistencies in your people.
Deep down I know, dear Father,
that their failures do not
mean your failure,
but it is hard for it
not to feel that way.
Call me close to you.
Give me a more gracious heart
toward those who fail me.
Establish my faith,
strong and firm in you, O LORD.
In you I put my trust.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
