Isaiah 31:1
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but who do not look to the Holy One of Israel.
God is a good God.... God wants to help the helpless.... many times we are tempted to go to men for help instead of GOd.... men can help us... but men are secondary causes... God is our primary source for help... GOd doesnt want us to trust ourselves or even men before Him.... He wants us to trust Him... and if He chooses He may send men to help us.... but He wants to be primary source of help to us.... thats good news... but we need to humble ourselves to pray for help from Him before going to human....or our connections... or our wisdom.... Seek HIm above all... HE is with you... HE wants to flow thru you in everything... He loves you... Dun be silly to plan before praying and asking Him for direction....
Isaiah 30:15-16
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not, and you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"- therefore you shall flee! And, "we will ride on swift horses"- therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the Lord: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.
Because of Jesus, we are not cursed... He took our cursed on the cross that we might be blessed... however we still can learn from the verse above that God wants us to trust Him above men... trust Him for your finances... trust Him for provision... trust Him for the desires of your heart... trust Him and not the arm of flesh... trust Him even for your lifetime partner... When your trust and hope is firmly in GOd... no men can manupulate you.... you will have a healthy holy independence becos your faith is in a good GOd and your dependency is on Him not your connections or strength or even wisdom... but in Him... and He shall direct your steps....
Jeremiah 17:7
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river. And will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor cease from yielding fruit.
