Thanks for sharing Matt. I totally agree that it is very easy to put too much trust in man. God has given man the fruit of the spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. When we trust in God, we learn how to recognize man by his fruits. Yes, trust in God and He will direct our path. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us!

When it came down to trust my problem was in trusting too much. I stayed connected to the wrong people way too long. It allowed situations, and rotten influence to take its toll. In turning to the Word of God I found these simple truths…

Psalm 84:12 (NIV)
O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Psalm 118:8 (NIV)
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

Isaiah 2:22 (NIV)
Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

Jeremiah 9:3-5 (NIV)
“They make ready their tongue
like a bow, to shoot lies;
it is not by truth
that they triumph in the land.
They go from one sin to another;
they do not acknowledge me,”
declares the LORD.
“Beware of your friends;
do not trust your brothers.
For every brother is a deceiver,
and every friend a slanderer.
Friend deceives friend,
and no one speaks the truth.
They have taught their tongues to lie;
they weary themselves with sinning.

When you trust in the Lord you learn to recognize those who make the effort to be godly. Our Lord will send the best friends possible. His hand is always at work for the greater good of those who love Him.

Blessings,
Matt.
