"Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?"  Isaiah

As a sinner and someone who falls short of the glory that God has for us this verse really strikes a chord for me.  I remember when I was a kid and my parents would warn against something like, touching a hot stove, but I really wanted to touch that pretty glowing thing.  Then one day when my mom was cooking she took a pot off the stove turned around and I touched it and burn the heck out of my hand.  Now I was really too young to remember so my mom tells this story to my boys all the time.  You know God's love is a lot that.  When we are children we do not have any self control and that is why I touched the stove and that is also why we have parents to look after us as we grow up.  The same is true with our Heavenly Father.  The world has no self control and the motto of our society seems to be if "if you want to do, then do!"  Trust in God, and his wisdom.  He made us, the world, everything, so why would we not trust Him.  Does the Creator not know His creation better that the one He created.  Trust in God and His wisdom.  Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."  If you ask for God's help He will always help you.  He will never leave you vulnerable.  The Lord says that we will always have trouble in the world, but He died on the cross, is risen from the grave the over come the troubles of the world, for you!  He will carry you through the muck of this world, and deliver you.

Just say no to drugs.....

in Christ, lots of love
