Are you trusting God or self? Are you trusting your Bishop , pastor,or priest ? How about family or friends ? Do you trust your doctor , lawyer,accountant or even your teacher’s over God. Who created you and knows the plans for your life before you were born.
“Thus says the Lord : “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord . For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord , And whose hope is the Lord . For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit”.{Jeremiah 17:5-8}.
Another scripture clearly states ,
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones”. (Proverbs 3:5-8).
So if God owns, and controls everything then, why would you trust men,with titles and degrees over God,who is wiser than them all.How do expect God to trust you when you don’t trust Him.
“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. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God”, (Psalms 146:3-5).
Why are you leaning on your own understanding , Richard Baxter said,”Self is the most treacherous enemy,and the most insinuating deceiver in the world”.
However, Psalm 37:3-5 says, “Trust in the Lord , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass”.
There is no peace,in your life,when you don’t trust in God,as Isaiah 26:3-6 said ,
“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord , is everlasting strength”
Again I ask, who or what are you trusting ? your self , your education , your job ,friends , family , doctors , lawyers,etc. And you or they fail then what? You turn to God ,when you run out of options .
LISTEN, GOD SHOULD be your only option ,and your first option not your parents , boss,nor pastor .
FINALLY : AS 2 CORINTHIANS 1:8-10 SAYS,
“For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us”.
