Isaiah 2:22 Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem? (NIV)
I am utterly exhausted. Every day of this school year I have felt like a hamster on a wheel, running for all I’m worth and getting nowhere but exhausted. The kids are great. Being together again is a plus. Class discussions are fantastic. I’m just exhausted, and I am not alone.
Isaiah 2:22 Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they? (NLT)
What do these thoughts have to do with Isaiah 2:22? I’ve always prided myself on my self sufficiency, my ability to do what needs to be done. But there is definitely still something amiss here. I start every day rooted in His word, but I can’t help but think that if I were truly resting in Him as I should, I wouldn’t be this exhausted.
Isaiah 2:22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he? (BSB)
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that I cannot do this life alone, I cannot make it through in my own power. Thank You for the promise of Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Draw me closer, Lord. Wrap me in Your peace, rest, and love. Amen.
Isaiah 2:22 Stop trusting the power of humans. They are all going to die, so how can they help? (CEV)
Have a blessed day.
