This morning I talk about not seeking help from the world. I included several verses to remind you about how God feels about seeking help from anyone but him.
Jeremiah 17:5-6 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.
Isaiah 20:5 Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be dismayed and put to shame.
Isaiah 31:1-3 What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help, trusting their horses, chariots, and charioteers and depending on the strength of human armies instead of looking to the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. In his wisdom, the LORD will send great disaster; he will not change his mind. He will rise against the wicked and against their helpers. For these Egyptians are mere humans, not God! Their horses are puny flesh, not mighty spirits! When the LORD raises his fist against them, those who help will stumble, and those being helped will fall. They will all fall down and die together.
Psalm 146:3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.
Psalm 118:9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
Isaiah 2:22 Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?
Psalm 33:16-20 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
Psalm 60:11 Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
