Trust vs. Presumption

The Bible tells us to Trust

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart

   and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways submit to him,

   and he will make your paths straight.^[a]

 ⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;

   fear the LORD and shun evil.

⁸ This will bring health to your body

   and nourishment to your bones.

 ⁹ Honor the LORD with your wealth,

   with the firstfruits of all your crops;

¹⁰ then your barns will be filled to overflowing,

   and your vats will brim over with new wine.

The enemy wants us to live in Presumption.

 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

   “‘He will command his angels concerning you,

   and they will lift you up in their hands,

   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’^[c]”
