Avoid The Proud

Isaiah 2:22  

"Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: 

for wherein is he to be accounted of?" 

    Those that have trusted on the arm of man will become ashamed of their confidence. The Providences of God concerning you shall speak this aloud to you, and therefore take warning beforehand, that you may prevent the uneasiness and shame of disappointment; and consider, How weak man are. His breath is in his nostrils, puffed out every moment, soon gone forever. Man is a dying creature, and may die quickly. The breath in our nostrils is like one standing at the door, ready to depart. The doors of the nostrils are always open, the breath in them may slip away, in a moment. Then is man to be accounted of! No reckoning is to be made of him, for he is not what he seems to be, what he pretends to be or what we fancy him to be. 

   My Friends, We must not put our trust in man. Let not  your eye be caught by the power of man, for it is not from him that your judgment proceeds. Let not him be your fear, let not him be your hope; but look up to the power of God, to which all the powers of men are subject and subordinate; dread God's wrath, secure God's favor, take God  for your help, and let your hope be in the Lord your God.”    

Amen!
