Trusting God Not Men

“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”
(2 Peter 2:19 KJV (See: NIV))

(Read: 2 Peter 2:10-22 Commentary)

“Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!”
(Isaiah 31:1 KJV)

“But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.”
(Micah 7:7-8 ESV)

“Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?”
(Isaiah 2:22 NIV)

“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.”
(1 Corinthians 3:21-23 KJV)

The Lord is My Strength

(Jeremiah 16:19 KJV)

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”

(Jeremiah 17:7 KJV)

“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”
