(James Smith)
"Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils." Isaiah 2:22
Never trust in man--for his heart is deceitful.
Never expect satisfaction from from man--for he is an empty cistern.
Never follow man--for he is a false guide.
Do not trust even in a friend. One object of trust is enough--Jesus has all you need.
If you neglect this loving direction--then you may expect to suffer.
But if you walk by it--then your peace will be a river, and your soul will be like a well-watered garden.
He cautions you--because He loves you.
He knows what is in man--you do not.
He would save you from disappointment, sorrow and woe!
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man--who depends on flesh for his strength!" Jeremiah 17:5
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord--whose confidence is in Him!" Jeremiah 17:7
"O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in You!" Psalm 84:12
"In You, O Lord, I have put my trust!" Psalms 71:1
