Trust in the Lord Reference Page

Put your trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.
Reference: Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.

Put not your trust in the religious systems devised by men whose only strength is their complexity of confusion.
Reference: Psalm 52:7 "Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire.

The philosophies of men all are like houses without foundations.
Reference: Luke 6:49 "But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

They all seem solid and stable until the first great storm comes.
Reference: Zechariah 7:14 "but I scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one went back and forth, for they made the pleasant land desolate."

Then, like houses without foundations, these philosophies began to sink into the earthly mire.
Reference: Job 4:19 'How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

The Word of the Lord is a solid rock that will stand for all eternity.
Reference: Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
