Jeremiah 17:5 This is what the lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the lord.

Understanding that we can not do this life on our own and can not put our trust in ourselves or fellow man but rather in Christ alone is one of, if not the most difficult tasks as a believer. From the moment we are brought into this world we are relying on our own flesh and bone to crawl, to walk, to become the man or woman we are today. But the truth is "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb,” Psalm 139v13 God was there from the start breathing life into our precious little lungs. Climbing the ladder of success coupled with the distractions of this world, it becomes far too easy to forget this truth. Which is why spending time daily with our maker is so important. God called us to lean on Him and not ourselves so that we will experience true eternal, ever lasting success, not just for ourselves but for the kingdom of the most high.

Jeremiah 17:7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the lord, whose confidence is in him. 8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
