the bible says this in isaiah 2.22 (ncv), you should stop trusting in people to save you because people are only human.
don’t expect a person to be the answer to all your problems. it’s not going to happen. if you do that you’re going to set yourself up. there is only one SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. stop expecting anyone or anything else to be your savior.
jeremiah 17.7 (nlt), blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made him [not other people] their hope and confidence.
what happens if you do this? look at GOD’s promise in isaiah 49.23 (ncv), anyone who trusts in ME will not be disappointed.
do you know why you’re disappointed? because you’re trusting in other things besides GOD.
you thought, “this experience will make me happy,” and it didn’t so you’re disappointed. then you thought, “this person in my life will meet my needs,” so now you’re disappointed. or you thought, “if i could just achieve this level of success and achievement, then i’ll be happy and satisfied,” and it didn’t make you happy and satisfied and you’re disappointed.
this person, this event, this thing… if i can just buy this car… and then it disappointed you. any time you are disappointed, it is a warning light that you have trusted in something else for your happiness besides GOD. it’s a big red light that says you’ve got your values misplaced.
just a thought from the front porch…
