==Scripture Pages that Link to Here==

'''[[Isaiah 2:19-22]]'''
: Isa 2:22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he? (Context: When God judges the earth.)


'''[[Deuteronomy 20:1-20]]'''
:Don't be afraid of the enemy, when you see horses, and chariots, and a much greater number of soldiers; for God is with you and will fight for you. 

:(This assumes that trusting God is a way of life. To ask God for protection ''without'' having repentance for existing sins won't necessarily result in victory!)


'''[[Isaiah 22:9-14]]'''
:They reinforced their defenses, but refused to look to the God who was sending this judgment! 

:This lack of trust in God is actually a symptom of deeper issues - an entire ''lifestyle''. And they ''refused'' to repent of their evil ways.


'''[[Isaiah 30:1-33]]'''
:A stubborn people (Israel) who trusts in others (Egypt), rather than in God - they will be brought to disgrace.

:The issue: They valued the help and advice that comes from humans more than the guidance and protection that comes from God. This is an act of adding "sin to sin"; and the end result will be shame and disgrace. 


'''[[Isaiah 31:1-9]]'''
:Woe to people who look to humans for help, and NOT to God! How horrible it will be for them!

:In Israel's case, both of these actions - returning to Egypt and acquiring warhorses - were forbidden (Deuteronomy 17:16). So this was a "double" sin.
