Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever. - Psalm 146:3-6
"After midnight we're gonna let it all hang out. After midnight we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout. We're gonna cause talk and suspicion, Give 'em an exhibition Find out what it is all about" - Eric Clapton. --- After midnight, we may do things that we would not do before. We often use the cover of darkness and solitude as a space for moral escapism. God Before Midnight reminds us that there is no escape and very often it's best to turn out the light and go to sleep.

Who Do You Trust?
In what or whom do you trust? Who or what is at the center of your life and existence? Do you put your ultimate trust in money, your career, another person, yourself? God places many things in our lives that are good: job, wife, finances, friends, family. But when we love any of these things more than the God who created us and sustains us, then, at minimum, we will be gravely disappointed, and, at worse, they will separate us from Him and lead to ruin. Love the blessings God gave you, but always love Him more.
