True Wisdom

Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the Lord.

We spend so much time trying to please other people or fit into some image that other people or our society says is cool or “successful.” But what does God say? Why do we put so much credence in what others think or say and not our Creator? There is a great quote in a wonderful documentary titled “The Human Experience” in which a rabbi says something to the effect that life is a grand musical composition…and God is waiting for you to provide your note. Are you looking to God…listening to God in your heart…to discover that unique note that only your life can play…or are you looking to human beings? Are you looking for your purpose in “fleshly” things…or in the spiritual?
