Psalm 146

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. vv.3-4


Read chapter 146
Has anyone ever let you down?  Many if not all of us put our trust in man more than we do God.  No matter how much someone loves us or how much we love someone we will eventually be let down or let them down.  We're all sinners and cant do all that only God can do.  We can have hope from others but let's not turn those hopes into expectations.  Even in death we can feel lost without them like we can only live if they're there.  But oh how wrong we got it.  It is only by the grace of God that we can live and survive in this world. 
When have you let false expectations of someone cause you sadness, anger, or other emotions?  When have you felt trusting in the Lord outweighing trust in man?  Who is someone you put expectations on as if they're God and how can you change that?
