Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God
This is what the Lord says:
"A curse is placed on those who trust other people, who depend on humans for strength, who have stopped trusting the Lord. They are like a bush in a desert that grows in a land where no one lives,
a hot and dry land with bad soil. They don't know about the good things God can give. "But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.”
(Jeremiah 17:5-7 NCV)

The word, “curse ” is such a powerful word. In the Hebrew it reads, “bitterly cursed”.

Why is trusting in people, and depending on other people for strength so wrong? If you read on it is because they stopped trusting in the Lord. It is wrong to trust in, or depend on other people for strength, might, or power instead of Lord.

This does not mean that we are to go live in the woods like a hermit because we don't need other people, it just means that our trust remains firm in the Lord so that if the people in our lives go off course we aren't swept along with them like a flock of sheep running over a cliff.
When we begin to displace our trust in the Lord we are headed for trouble especially if we are placing our trust in non-Christians. We can find ourselves as the scripture says living in a horrible situation;
“They are like a bush in a desert that grows in a land where no one lives,
a hot and dry land with bad soil.”
Some one who has their trust in people and not in the Lord is in a place where they don't know about the good things God can give. All they know is the reality of what they derive from others. This is why when some one places their trust in the Lord for salvation it can cause such an uproar. The enemy longs to keep us making little god's out of other people instead of making Jesus the lord of our lives.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)
“But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” ( James 1:5 )
"But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.” ( Jeremiah 17:7 )

God will show us as we place our trust in Him that he is trustworthy.

“Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.” ( Isaiah 26:4 )

Prayer
Father God please forgive us for making other people little god's in our lives, help us to dethrone other people, and set you on the throne of our lives. We will trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. In Jesus name amen
