“Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there
is no help.  His spirit departs, he
returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish.”  (Psalm 146:3-4)

Sadly, too many people put their
trust in temporary things.  Set your
priority on eternal things.  The Lord is
forever and He has created all things. 
Do not trust in those things created, but in the One who made all
things.  In Him alone is the hope of all
the ages.  The Lord is forever and in Him
is the only forever hope.  Walk humbly
before your Creator and trust in Him above all things.

Lord, I am led astray by those people and things around me that tempt
me.  Lead me not into temptation, but
into Your eternal arms of grace and mercy. 
Help me to see that in You alone is the hope of the ages.  Guide me according to Your eternal plan and
purpose to walk as You know I need to walk that I may be guided forever by Your
Word and Your will.  Lead me away from
all that is temporary.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming
to lead the way for the faithful.  Guide
me now and always in the everlasting way of salvation that I may become ever more
like You.  Help me this day to see that
You have come that all who believe might have life and have it abundantly.  Guide me in the way of truth which You have
established that I may walk in the way of Your salvation.  Amen.
