Psalms 146.3,4
Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.
James says all men are like grass and their glory is like flowers, the grass withers and the flower fades but those who do the will of God will abide forever.
The word says do not put your trust or in other words your confidence in princes or other human beings. People are unstable. Their words are fickle. Trust God who is eternal and whose word is forever settled in heaven. We love people and respect them but our trust and confidence is only on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord loves it when we depend on him for every single thing. He wants you to trust Him and not run after people of power, influence or wealth. Jeremiah says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord . 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. “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. 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.
Friend, place your trust wholly and solely on the Lord, the Eternal One. Those who look to the Lord are radiant and they will never be covered with shame. Jesus is the head of the church and He is faithful over the church, which is God's house. Let's learn to depend on Him for every single thing and let's continue loving people. Trusting people will eventually lead to disappointments and frustrations for only Jesus can meet all your needs and fulfil all your expectations. Trust God, love people.
