Trust not in your ways and plans...!

Isaiah 31:1, 3 NKJV

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And  rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they  are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord ! Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together.

† Shalom †......! Day #301. Do you know that many even believers they put their trust on men, on things they see,  on money, on their strength and ability, on their wealth and not on the Lord who gave them all of this? Let's pray.  Father, forgive us for putting our hope and trust on earthly things and not in You. Forgive us for our unbelieve and not trusting You fully. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Many of put hope and trust on the things we see rather than the unseen. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We haven't had the opportunity to see Jesus face to face or even to be with Him in-person, yet believe Him because of the great and mighty marvelous works and miracles He has done. At the same, we put our trust on the wealth of the world, we put our trust on the philosophies of the world, we put our trust and hopes on human. Let me tell you something,  from genesis until revelation when God gives a man to do something, they rely not on human to get it done though they need them, but they put their full focus, trust and hopes in the Lord alone. God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, at that time Abraham didn't go around looking for help to replace Isaac nor he asked people to help him in that situation to do the will of God instead he obeyed, trusted the Lord and place all his hopes in Him at the end, God provided the sacrificial lamb.

God detest those who trust on the earthly thing. It's written that the Lord said, "Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And  rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they  are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong." The Lord's meaning of "woe" is Curse be upon them who do not trust in Him but trust on humans idea's, humans strength,  money and so on. Many of us, when God ask us to do something, or when God has impressed certain things in our hearts or even stirs our heart to do something for Him,  we tend to ask help from human first and not God. If God is the one who calls you to do something, then He shall also provide you all the necessary skills, finance, manpower, and every otjer things that you need to accomplish the task given to you. Let us not lean on our own understanding but in every ways acknowledge the Lord. His plans are higher than our plans, His ways are greater than our ways. I say this because may at times I see servants of God run to and fro in seeking for help to accomplish the things the Lord has entrusted to them, but they forget that their help is from the Lord. Are you in this situation today? It doesn't matter whatever projects you may be involved in, either in church or in work place, seek the Lord's counsel and help 1st, when you call upon Him, He will answer you and give revelations and plans on how to go about doing the things He has entrusted to you.

"But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord ! Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together."

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
