Self-Sufficiency and Godly Confidence
Homilist
Proverbs 28:26
He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.


I. SELF-SUFFICIENCY. Seen as pride, and as self-trust. Two things indicated. It is mischievous. It is foolish.

II. GODLY CONFIDENCE. Trust in God implies a knowledge of Him, an appreciation of His transcendent excellences, and a consciousness of His willingness and ability to sustain us. This trust leads to prosperity.

(Homilist.)
