Our Rightful Source


This is what the Lord says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord...
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream..."
- Jeremiah 17:5, 7-8 NIV

I like the way God doesn't mince words. He makes it abundantly clear that He wants us to put our trust in Him, and not man. He goes so far as to say that those who put their trust in people will be cursed. Isaiah 2:22 says, "Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" I especially like the way David puts it in Psalm 60:11, "Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless." And for those of us who are tempted to put our trust in leaders, Psalm 146:3 says, "Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men who cannot save." But the verses above reassure us that those who put their trust in God will not have to fear or worry even in a year of drought, because they will always be fresh and fruitful!

A job can be a good thing, but God doesn't want us making it our source. If we do, when we lose it, we will have no means of support. On the other hand, if we make God our provider, even if we are jobless for a time, our needs will still be met. Doctors can definitely be a blessing. But if we rely only on their limited wisdom and leave God out of the picture, it could cost us our health--maybe even our lives. Spouses and parents can be wonderful gifts, but depending on them for all our needs can be disastrous if they're ever taken from us. The good news is that God is willing and able to be all that we need in this life. If you are looking for stability and security in this ever-changing world, make our unchangeable God the source of all your needs. Then you can exclaim with the psalmist, "O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you"! (Psalm 84:12)

Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the times I put my trust in man, rather than You. Help me to look to You for all my needs, including all my physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Help me to realize that when I make You my source, my resources are boundless. Thank You that no matter what happens, I will always be blessed and fruitful!
