The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape. Proverbs 28:26
Somewhere along the line, many have chosen to believe "trusting in themselves" is a sign of wisdom. I think it is easier to take this stance when you have completely disregarded God as a factor in your life, or compartmentalized Him to the point where He only exists when it suits you. If you don't belive in God, or don't believe there is a God, who better to trust than yourself? Can you really trust anyone more than you trust yourself? Yet this verse calls the person who trusts his own heart a "fool." If trusting in my own heart is foolishness, then where does wisdom come from? Apart from the influence of the Lord, our hearts are desperately lost and confused. After all, who designed your heart? Who knows you completely, and is able to author wisdom for your life?
