Trust in the Lord

Isaiah 2:22
Stop trusting man. He can't help you. He only lives for a little while. What good is he?

1 Timothy 6:17
Command people who are rich in this world not to be proud. Tell them not to put their hope in riches. Wealth is so uncertain. Command those who are rich to put their hope in God. He richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

Proverbs 11:28
Those who trust in their riches will fall. But those who do right will be as healthy as a green leaf.

Proverbs 23:4
Don't wear yourself out to get rich. Be wise enough to say no.

Proverbs 28:26
Anyone who trusts in himself is foolish. But a person who lives wisely is kept safe.

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. But we trust in the Lord our God.

Trust in yourself, and you are doomed to disappointment.
Trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you.
Trust in money, and you may have it taken from you.
Trust in reputation, and some slanderous tongue may blast it.
But trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time and eternity!
