Nahum 1:7 – 7 The LORD is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
Jeremiah 17:7 – 7 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.”
We as Christians have nothing else to put our trust in, but the Lord.
Others who do put their trust into something else?
Isaiah 42:17 – 17 But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.
Proverbs 11:28 – 28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
Psalm 146:3 – 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
Proverbs 28:26 – 26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
An idol can be anything you put in front of the Lord. Riches are huge stumbling block of today. Only one God Man can save, the rest cannot. Those who trust in themselves are in for a lot of heartache.
Let go, let God. I’ve always enjoyed that saying. Trust in the Lord. The rest is all temporary.
