Do not place your confidence in Princes (leaders, rulers)


It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.  Psalms 118:9 (KJV)

 

       Our confidence is not placed in princes—government officials, leaders or those who guide us. For we know that the men we place our hopes in inevitably will fall for they are finite. Even the most righteous man on the earth is not perfect and is a sinner. But our hope is not in man or in a ruler, it is in God! The Almighty! Our Father! Our King! Our Provider! Our Salvation! Our Refuge!
