Even though we cannot trust in people, wouldn’t it be nice to believe anything and everything someone said? Unfortunately, most people’s words are filled with good intentions, but many just don’t follow through.
I’m sure glad God isn’t like that! We know His Word is good, and what He says He will do, He will do! We just cannot trust in people.

It’s sad to see people looking to others for their fulfillment and security when they should be looking to God. Only God holds the key to everything we need and desire in life. If you trust in people, you’ll certainly be disappointed.
So many people put so much faith in another human being by putting them up on a pedestal. All they’re doing is setting themselves up for disappointment. If we’re not careful, we can trust in people to the point of making them an idol, and we know God hates idolatry!
It seems the first thing we do when something uncomfortable comes up in our lives is to get upset. The second thing we do is run to another person and try to get them to fix it. The problem is, the other person may not be able to fix it, or they may make you a promise they cannot keep, giving you false hope.
Don’t trust in people so much to the point of putting too much faith in them. People have good intentions, but they’re only people. God is our rewarder and He is perfect in all His ways. He will never let us down. He knows right where we are and knows just exactly what we need at any given moment. Jesus said, “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22).
We serve a great God who loves us dearly and wants to take care of us. He wants us to give Him first place in our lives and to put all of our hope in Him. We cannot do that if we trust in people.
