What does the Bible say about trusting in God versus seeking help from man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against seeking help from man, emphasizing trust in God for protection and deliverance.

The scriptures illustrate a clear distinction between reliance on God and dependence on earthly aids. In Isaiah 31:1, a warning is issued: 'Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help', highlighting the futility of seeking assistance from human sources when God is the ultimate protector. Ezra exemplified this principle by refusing to seek military assistance from the king, instead choosing to pray and fast, trusting in God's provision as stated in Ezra 8:21-23. This attests to the belief that God's hand is upon those who seek Him, and His power is against those who forsake Him, encouraging believers to rely fully on divine grace rather than human intervention.
