Have you ever been told to
follow a certain man or woman? What does God say about following someone?
“Thus saith the Lord; Cursed
be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh
his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:5
We will be cursed if we put
our trust in any man or make a man our power. If we put our trust in a man, our
soul is in jeopardy. We can also get many truths from people, but before we put
to action something, we need to get a confirmation from God for ourselves.
“Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh
flesh his arm, or
shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by
the power of the Holy Ghost.” 2 Nephi 28:31
The only person we can
follow is God. God will never lead us astray.
“And when he had called the
people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34
The Lord never tells us to
trust in a man. We should not even put our trust in a prophet of God because
they too can fall and lead people astray, just like any other man. The Lord
should be the one we trust and follow.
