Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Isaiah chapter 2, verse 22, says, stop regarding man, in whose nostrils is breath.

For of what account is he?

Some translations say, stop trusting in man. The whole whole picture here

is God's people being tempted to trust in men, to trust in other nations instead of putting

all their trust in God. And God's saying to them, don't do that.

Don't put your trust in man, in the created.

Put your trust in the creator.

This is a needed exhortation to us.

In each of our lives, I'm tempted tempted you're tempted to put our trust in people

and yes there's a sense in which that's right and good like I think about my relationship with my

wife I trust her and I hope she trusts me. I know she trusts me. And so that's a good thing.

But ultimately, she is not where I put my ultimate trust. And I don't want to be where she puts her

ultimate trust. Because I'm not guaranteed to be here today or tomorrow. She's not guaranteed to be here

today or tomorrow. So stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath. For what account is he?

Like even the best people on this earth we can't ultimately depend on but god oh god we can ultimately depend on he's the creator

he is eternal his promises are everlasting like never ending we can totally trust in him with our our lives, we can trust in him, with our marriages,

we can trust in him, with our families, we can trust in him, with our future, everything we have.

Put your trust in God. So let's pray, God, we trust in you. We trust in you with all our hearts. You alone are ultimately

trustworthy. We praise you for your trustworthiness. We praise you that your promises are totally true.

That your faithfulness is a rock upon which we can build our lives,

not just now or for the next year, for the next 10 years, but for the next 10 trillion years.
