Isaiah 2 Stop trusting man, who has but

Isaiah 2

Stop trusting man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he? v22

Don’t look at what man looks at to gauge your successes. He may not even be around to see it. He is just a breath. Your life is for eternity, the results will outlast your life on this earth. You will be watching from heaven on so much more. So eyes on God, trust Him.
The missionary Adoniram Judson arrived in Burma, or Myanmar, in 1812, and died there thirty-eight years later in 1850. He was imprisoned, tortured, and kept in shackles. After the death of his first wife, Ann, to whom he was devoted, for several months he was so depressed that he sat daily beside her tomb. Three years later, he wrote: God is to me the Great Unknown. I believe in him, but I cannot find him. But Adoniram’s faith sustained him, and he threw himself into the tasks to which he believed God had called him. He worked feverishly on his translation of the Bible. Statistics are unclear, but there were only somewhere between twelve and twenty-five professing Christians in the country when he died, and there were not churches to speak of.
He died a pauper, but left the Bible for the Burmese. When he died, there were few believers, but today there are over 600,000, and every single one of them trace their spiritual heritage to one man: the Rev. Adoniram Judson.
He never saw it on this earth and we may not see what we are called to give our lives to on this earth. But we trust Him who will bring the success.
Today we do not trust man.
