Isaiah 1-2: Stop Trusting in Man

Stop trusting in man,
   who has but a breath in his nostrils.
Of what account is he?
- Isaiah 2:22 NIV

We may have 'In God We Trust' written on our coins and currency, but he's quite low on the list of what we really put our trust in if he's there at all.  The government, the monetary policy, political parties, the president, our job, our employer, our bank account, our 401Ks, technology, the internet, the weatherman, the nightly news, the drudgereport, televangelists, our friends and family, any and all of these are our source rather than the one that our money and our words would purport to trust in.

All of these things we trust in are nothing, can do nothing can promise nothing.  As Isaiah says:  Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
