Danger of believing in one's own strength and riches :
We see people around who believe in certain things, some believe in people, some believe in themselves, some believe in Medicare, some in power and some in fame.
We see the plight of the man who trusted in riches instead of believing in God.
"Luke 12:19-21 NKJV
And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."' [20] But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' [21] "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."_ Here we see the foolish man who trusted in His riches. Being rich is not bad but putting our trust in these things is an act of foolishness.
Also, we learn about this in
" Psalm 33:16-18 NKJV
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. [17] A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. [18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,"_In olden days, the king who possessed a great army and horses and chariots believed that, these could save Him and His country from the enemy. But we learn that God's eyes are on those who believe in Him_in His Son Jesus Christ.
And
"Psalm 33:12 NKJV
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance."_Blessed is the nation to which you and I belong, who has Lord as God.
Also
"Jeremiah 17:7-8 AMP
Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. [8] For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit."_Lord Jesus Thank you for planting us near the Living waters to have green leaves. and to bear fruit. Amen.
