LET US BE CAREFUL WHO WE PLACE OUR TRUST IN.
Proverbs 25:19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
Proverbs 20:6 “Many people declare their loyalty, but who can find someone who is really trustworthy?”
Real loyalty is rare. It shows up in actions, not declarations. A person’s mouth may say anything, but their actions show if they are loyal or not.
Loyalty is tested in trouble, not in comfort. Anyone can appear faithful when nothing is required of them. But when pressure comes, the true nature of a person is revealed.
These proverbs warn us: Not to give crisis‑level trust to convenience‑level people.
Don’t rely on inconsistent people. If someone has a pattern of unreliability, Scripture says you should not lean on them.
God never calls us to be loyal to disloyalty. Before we depend on someone let us evaluate the person’s trustworthiness.
Before depending on someone, ask: Have they shown faithfulness in small things?
Before sharing something sensitive, ask: Have they handled past information with integrity?
Surround yourself with people who strengthen your walk, not sabotage it. Don’t feel guilty for setting boundaries; feel wise.
Pray for Discernment. Ask God to Show you who is safe. Show you who is not aligned with where He’s taking you, and realize discernment is protection, and God is the only One who is always reliable.
“Lord, help me trust wisely today. Show me who strengthens my walk and who weakens it.
Make me reliable in all I do and protect my heart from misplaced trust.” AMEN AND AMEN.
