Isaiah 30:1-7 -- What are we trusting?

We may be tempted to put our trust in the strong, in our wealth, in friends and family, in success, in ....yet none of these can protect us if God doesn't allow it.  The strong can become weak, the wealth can disappear, relationships can be broken, and our success can disappear.

No, we must put our trust in God by just obeying the next little thing He tells us to do.  This may be just to get to work on time, or it maybe to sign up for a college course, or it maybe to ask for forgiveness, or it maybe.... 

"Lord take away my thoughts, other people's thoughts, and satan's thoughts and leave me with Yours"  ...and then give me the courage and discipline to carry out what You're asking me to do.
