Why We Should Not Trust in People

by Daniel N. Brown

Wouldn't it be nice to believe anything and everything that
someone said? Unfortunately, most people's words are filled
with good intentions, but many never follow through.


I'm sure glad God is not like that! We know His Word is
good, and what He says He will do, He will do!


It's so 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.


Is your hope in God? Or, is it in people?


I will tell you this, people can... and they will let you
down. We are all imperfect. Only God is infallible. 


So many people put so much faith in another human being by
putting them up on a pedestal, and it is very sad. All they
are doing is setting themselves up for disappointment. If we
are not careful we can make other people an idol, and we
know God hates idolitry!


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 will never experience the fullness of what God has for
us unless we are truly believing in Him, and believing what
His Word says about us and our circumstances. The Bible
says, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). 


Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.”  Whatever any
situation may look like, just know God is in control. We are
to live by faith, not by sight.


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 put too much faith in a person. I know people have
good intentions, but they are 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).
