"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man" (Psalm 118:8). "He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house" (Proverbs 15:27). "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man... whose heart departeth from the LORD... Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD... I the LORD search the heart" (Jeremiah 17:5-10). "Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world" (2 Timothy 4:10).
In
God alone we rightly trust;
We
dare trust in mortal man
Whose
strength declines and turns to dust,
Abandoning
his noblest plan.
The
Lord, who searches every heart,
Could
see the greed that was unfurled
In
Demas who would soon depart
Because
he loved this present world.
The
one who trusts in man is cursed;
The
one who trusts in God is blest.
The
Lord will satisfy the thirst
Of
all who come to Him for rest.
O
Lord, we see the sad demise
Of
Demas, who had turned away.
Reprove
us, that we may be wise,
Lest
we should also go astray!
