CEASE YE FROM MAN!
"Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" -Isaiah 2:22 [KJV]
With all the political advertising of the present hour, dividing the opinions of men and women between the various candidates, there is something God's people are to remember: There is no help in man! How can men help us who are ignorant of the most basic truth about men? That being, we are everyone basically evil! Not basically good as most imagine but sinners. A sinner cannot really help another sinner.
Our life's breath is given to us by God one breath at a time. All true help must come from God alone. Plus, the greatest need of a sinner is a Savior from their sins. There's only One, the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the one who has saved all His people from their sins. He's the One and His cross death is what God appointed: “I have laid help upon One that is mighty; I have exalted One chosen out of the people” [Psalm 89:19]. This country, this world and we as individuals do need help; but it is only to be found in Christ!
