*Scripture: Psa 118:8*
”It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man“ (NKJV)
”It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans“ (NIV)
! 1. Be Careful in What / Who You Trust
Don’t put your trust in:
*A.
Riches*
* Not permanent (Pro.
23:5)
*B.
Man*
* Their help is temporal and unreliable (Psa.
146:3-4)
/“Trust in yourself, and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you; trust in reputation, and some slanderous tongue may blast it; but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or in eternity.”
~ D. L. Moody/
! 2. Be Wise to Trust In God Alone
Trust means we believe in God and rely on His promises no matter what the circumstances are - good or bad.
Trust is:
* assured reliance on the character, ability, strength or truth of someone or something.
* One in which confidence is placed in
/(Merriam Webster Dictionary)/
