Isaiah 57

Where do I place my trust? In human institutions? In myself? In the church? In God alone? The list could go on and on. Only one of those in any list will ultimately prove trustworthy. God himself sets the standard of meeting whatever I need in any and every situation. At times that is a struggle. But Isaiah spends the first 13 verses of this chapter contrasting the lives of those who place their trust in God with those who center their confidence on anything but God. the last verse of the chapter presents the summary: "There is no rest for the wicked."
It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter.
