TRUST GOD, NOT MAN!

{{{DON'T PUT ALL OF YOUR TRUST IN MAN!}}} Sure, we have to learn to TRUST PEOPLE TO A *CERTAIN EXTENT.* But we should NEVER TRUST *PEOPLE* more than we TRUST *GOD!*{{{WE SHOULD NOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO FULFILL US IN WAYS THAT ONLY GOD CAN!}}} It's UNHEALTHY and it's NOT FAIR to them, to us, or even to God! WHY? Because we are EXPECTING them to do something IMPOSSIBLE!

Besides, we are setting ourselves up for FAILURE and MUCH HEARTACHE when we do this! People are just that... people! Just as WE hurt others (whether intentionally or not), we can EXPECT to be hurt by OTHERS (whether intentionally or not). That's life! When we find that we are so ATTACHED to another HUMAN, that we feel as if they could do NO WRONG- and then when we find out the OPPOSITE is true, and our lives are SHATTERED and we feel as if we couldn't possibly LIVE WITHOUT THEM; we've put them in the place of God! 

Bottom line: IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO NEVER GET HURT OR LET DOWN, LOOK TO GOD NOT MAN! Man has 'his' place and God has His! And beloveds, GOD'S PLACE CANNOT BE TAKEN AS HIS SEAT IS WAY TOO BIG FOR ANYONE TO FILL! Selah! 

~TRUST MAN TO A *CERTAIN* EXTENT, TRUST GOD TO THE FULLEST EXTENT!~


{Proverbs 3:5-6}- TRUST IN THE LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. *NOTE: IT DOESN'T SAY TRUST IN {{MAN}} WITH ALL YOUR HEART*

{Psalm 146:3-8}- DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, NOR IN A SON OF MAN, IN WHOM THERE IS NO HELP. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. 5 Happy is he who has the GOD of Jacob for his help, WHOSE HOPE IS IN THE LORD HIS GOD, 6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever,.......

{John 2:23-25}- BUT {{JESUS}} DID NOT COMMIT HIMSELF UNTO THEM, BECAUSE HE KNEW *ALL* MEN, 25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN MAN.
