Proverbs 28:26 says, “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 3:5-7 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.” And Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” How important it is to listen to God, rather than follow our own heart and emotions!
