Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?— Isaiah 2:22
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
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 but ungodly will be brought to ruin. We shouldn’t trust in human power; it can evaporate like dew in the morning sunshine. 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.
My 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 for relying on underhanded ways and improper partners. Please cleanse me and create in me a pure heart and an unquenchable passion for you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Be not afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things.— Joel 2:21
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
This reassurance from God is given to a people facing desperate times, which were brought on by God to lead them to repent. Their land lies desolate and decimated from drought, plagues, and poor harvests. God, however, is now promising to bless them if they will return to him with all their hearts. The LORD, the covenant God of Israel, will do great things to bring his people to deliverance through their repentance and his gracious power. The land can rejoice and be glad. So should his people! So should we! Because of Jesus, we know that “the LORD has done great things” for us!
My Prayer…
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your incredible work in our world. Thank you for your incredible work in my little part of that world. Thank you for your deliverance in Jesus. Thank you for the victory over death. Thank you for the incredible outpouring of your grace and mercy. Thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. Thank you for the Scriptures which your Spirit inspired and uses to teach us. Thank you for a family of friends in your Church. Thank you … in Jesus’ name. Amen.
