It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes – Psalm 118:9
Though we need people, we shouldn’t put our confidence in people. Many people today put their confidence in a ruler or president. They believe all will be well with them only if a particular candidate they support is voted into office. What they forget is that whoever is in office is still only a man. As a man, he or she is susceptible to the same weakness as is present in all man. He must battle his pride, ego, flesh, and the attacks of the enemy. He is not only tied by his own shortcomings, but his hands are also tied by the political system that exists. He is not God and he is not all loving, all powerful and all present. Rather than put your confidence in a fallible human being, it is better to put your trust in our infallible God. When you do, then your future no longer depends on the whims and whams of a man but on the steadfastness and trustworthiness of God. You should put your trust in God because He has never failed, and He will never fail. When you do, you will walk confidently knowing that your hope is real and your future is secure. In whom have you placed your confidence?
When I trust solely in man, I set myself up for disappointment
