Do you trust God or Man???

Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Luke 10:27 says: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.....
Psalm 37:3 and 5 say: 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.....
John 21:17 says: He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee, Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.....
1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?....
Today, let’s shake things up around here. First, giving honor to God where it is always due. To the various ministers and pastors who are constantly preach the Word of God and not the word of man. To every single brother and sister in Christ, to family, church family and friends. As you can see and read the following verses and for a little something I want to leave you with is…Trust God and not man!....
Why is it that everytime when I turn around or hear through the grapevine that somebody is saying I’ve turned my life around with the help of so and so. Where was God in that mix. Wait, let me refine that for a minute how come a person who believes in the All Mighty God say or wind up saying I’ve done such and such with the help of my friend. And again where was God in that mix. How come we believe in our friends so much that we run to them with our problems only so and so can help me. Or how come we’ll talk to certain friends of ours because so and so went through the same thing and we’ll talk to them. But in reality you should have come to God with that problem. Of course, so of us have bought into that theory that God is too busy to deal with our problems or the other theory that God is already knows the problems or the other theory or trap that God is not answering so I have to tell so and so. Or that other theory that God is going to say no or wait so I won’t go to Him. Friends are good to have in your life they encourage from time to time but there are times when friends need to be left out of the equation and God is the answer to your problem. In my life I have been fortunate enough to have some real great people come into my life. And these people have become my friends and a select few have become my closet friends. Four of my closet friends that I talk to have come into my life through the internet or through outside the internet and I respect all of their opinions as I pray they do for mine. And I don’t favor one over the other they all are equal in my opinion. They know almost know everything about me as I do them but there are times when we both need to get away from each other and talk to God. Sometimes that’s a little hard to do sometime because you feel that you want to talk to another human being and then talk with God. ....
Well…sometimes God needs me…I mean us to call on Him and not that friend who has gone through the same hell you’re going through but someone who can empathize like I don’t know God and then He’ll direct you to the person who He wants to help you. I was told awhile ago by one of my closet friends that we have to be careful when talking to certain friends because we don’t know what they are going through. And you know he was right in saying that because I don’t know what my friends are really going through just like I don’t know what’s going on in there’s. But as it says in Luke 10:27 says: “And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself” we are to put our trust in God and not man since man has his problems of his own. So who are you going to trust God or man?....
