"Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."
Micah 7:5-7
This message isn't always easy to hear, because we want to be able to trust the people closest to us, and to be able to rely on other people to guide us when it is needed. And, really, I don't think that God is completely outlawing doing either one. The point here is that trusting in God is the only thing that is guaranteed. Even those closest to us can lead us astray or influence us for evil, just as we are able to with the people around us.
We likely don't mean to lead anyone astray, but sometimes we make mistakes and other people see them. And sometimes when we comfort our friends, we condone their bad choices. We don't always know how to love without agreeing with. Thankfully, God is great at that (as with everything else), and he can help.
God always hears us, and keeping him at the center of our lives ensures that we will always have the help that we need. Today, let's remember that God is trustworthy above all others.
