What does the Bible say about trusting in the Lord versus seeking help from men?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against relying on human strength and emphasizes trust in the Lord for help and deliverance.

In Isaiah 31, the Lord rebukes those who seek assistance from Egypt instead of trusting in Him, highlighting that human resources are ultimately futile. The emphasis is on God's sovereignty and wisdom compared to the limitations of human beings. When we attempt to rely exclusively on our abilities or those of others, we overlook the omnipotence of God. Trusting the Lord means recognizing His hand in our lives and His provision in all circumstances, as laid out in the Scriptures, especially in passages like Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to lean not on our own understanding.
