But men . . . . .

But men . . . . .

Ps. 9: 20

Put them in fear [put on strong restraints to make them realize their frail nature], O Lord,

that the nations may know themselves to be BUT MEN. [in their bold, daring, confidence in their own strength, and their belief that they could succeed on their own and, otherwise, think ourselves gods; understand themselves to be but miserable, frail, and dying men – mere mortals].

Selah [pause, mark well and take notice of that]!

Pray the Word:

Lord, we’ve observed that crowns leave their wearers but men, degrees of prominent learning make their owners no more than men, courage and conquest cannot elevate the person after death to any higher level than that of BUT A MAN [mere mortal]. And, if all the wealth, wisdom, power and eloquence of every successful man were added together, it would still leave the possessor BUT A MAN [mere mortal]. May we ever remember this for fear that we should be put in strong restraints to make us realize our frail nature without You!
