Wisdom from the Lord
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. 6 They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.
7 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. 8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.
If you believe God’s Word, the choice is easy.
Trusting in humans, either self or others, is a path to disappointment, bitterness or destruction.
Trusting God is a path to fruitfulness; that is success, prosperity, joy and a secure future.
“…choose you this day whom ye will serve; … as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” – Joshua 24:15
