Psalm 146:3-4 (NKJV) 3 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.
Times of trials and tribulation can tend to cause us to reach out for inspiration, encouragement and hope from people around us.
And while there is nothing wrong with doing that to some degree, God ultimately wants us to look to Him for what we need.
Man will fail us. We will be hurt and disappointed by man. We will be betrayed by man. It’s just how it goes because man is frail and fickle, living by emotions and existing, often times, solely to satisfy self.
This is why it’s so important that we grow and build our trust in God.
Even though it can be hard for us to do this because of the disparity between spirit and flesh, it’s something that we need to determine within our hearts to do if we want to learn to live and walk by the Spirit, and not by the flesh.
Truth and the Spirit of God bring liberty. Flesh, and all that revolve around it, bring bondage.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
