Who do you Trust?
If you do not trust God, you will inevitably trust someone or something else. God will then put you under the care of the one you trust, rather than His own.
~ Rabbi Bahya ben Joseph ibn Paquda
Bahya ben Joseph ibn Paquda was a Jewish philosopher and rabbi who lived at Zaragoza, Al-Andalus in the first half of the eleventh century. He is often referred to as Rabbeinu Bachya.

O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.
