The LORD continues to warn Judah, put your trust in me, not in Egypt. When we apply this lesson, we realise this one is delicate. How do I put my trust in God and not people considering God will still use the same people to answer the very thing I am trusting Him for?
For me, the answer is in praying. Oftentimes, we do every other thing but pray about the situation. For those of us who do pray, it is either then only an after thought or our last resort. My advise, call on the LORD because he is nearer than you can imagine.
