Oftentimes we put our faith and trust in those around us (family & friends); we usually take them at their word, and never think twice about it. Then when they let us down, or don't keep their word, we find ourselves upset at them.

Should we be?

It's not their fault that we took everything they said to heart; they're mere flesh and blood just like us, just because they say they'll do something, or claim they'll be there for us when we need them, doesn't necessarily mean they'll do so.

So why should we continue to put our stock in someone that's just like us who'll let us down every time?

Shouldn't we learn to put our faith and trust in the One who will be there for us through thick and thin, the One who'll stick closer to us than any friend ever will, the One who will never go back on His word, and who will be by our side from here through eternity?

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

If we learn to lean on, and trust, the Most High with ANY and EVERYTHING we'll be in much better shape.
