The Vanity of The Thoughts Of Men

"The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile."
Psalm 94:11

Haughty men think that God does not hear what they say or see what they do (v.7,9). But God is the searcher of our hearts and knows all our secret thoughts. Men may form wise schemes and plans but everything is vain and none can be executed without His permission. His counsel stands forever and His truth prevails.

Beware Of Men With Futile Conversations And Deeds

"Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood"
Psalm 144:11

As we seek God's favor, it is also as much important for us to plead His mercy to rescue us from those who are aliens to God, with futile conversations and fake deeds. Let us not trust or rely on them to the least, for their influence on us will be devastating.

Wise Men Seek God

"Where is the newborn King..? We saw His star.., and we have come to worship Him."
Matthew 2:2

If at all we are wise, we would seek God diligently everyday with eager expectation, inquiring anxiously of Him, searching the Scriptures, as the wise men did. We would bow down before the King of kings to worship and adore Him, pay Him our vows and lay all that is valuable to us at His feet.

When Men Backbite..

"..my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.. But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise You more and more."
Psalm 71:10,14

There are men waiting to backbite us in our hour of deprivation. Yet let us not lose heart but put our hope in God continually. When we cannot delight in our present situation, let us look forward to what is going to be ours and celebrate it. Let us be overjoyed and praise God more and more with the assurance of His interposition in our behalf to make us soar higher.
