Image shows a man in the middle of a desert, looking upward towards the night sky filled with constellations and a glowing beam of light which is shining upon the man who is also surrounded by people looking down at their phones, not looking to God. A constellation spells out the phrase, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart."
You heard it. You read it. You felt it in your spirit.
“Trust no one but Me.”
Yet here we are, letting man—flawed, fickle, and often deceptive—be the compass for our choices.
Why?
Because he’s loud.
Because he’s visible.
Because he’s got credentials, charisma, or a crowd.
But let me remind you: the devil had all that too.
The Call to Trust in the Unseen
"As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." — 2 Corinthians 4:18 (ESV)
God never asked us to trust what we could see.
He asked us to trust Him—the invisible, the eternal, the holy.
And He warned us, again and again, that man’s ways are not His ways.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
— Isaiah 55:8,9 (NIV)
“Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.”
— Jeremiah 17:5 (ESV)
That’s not a suggestion. That’s a warning.
When you lean on man’s wisdom, you’re often leaning away from God’s will.
When Man Speaks, Test the Spirit
Not every voice that sounds good is God.
Not every “word” is the Word.
And not every “prophet” is sent.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
— 1 John 4:1 (ESV)
So why are we out here trusting Tristan, trusting TikTok, trusting trends, trusting titles—when God already told us to trust Him alone?
Trust in the One You Cannot See
Faith isn’t about what’s visible.
It’s about what’s true.
And truth doesn’t always come with a microphone or a platform.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
God is calling us to recalibrate.
To stop outsourcing our discernment.
To stop letting man’s voice override God’s whisper.
A Heart Check
So here’s the question:
Who’s guiding your steps?
Is it the One who formed you, or the one who flatters you?
Because if you’re trusting man more than God, you’re not just misled—you’re missing out.
“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.”
— Psalm 118:8 (NIV)
“The Unseen One”
A Poem by Samantha
You trusted the loud one,
the proud one,
the polished one with a plan.
But the whisper in the wilderness
was never meant to come from man.
You followed the visible,
the viral,
the voice with velvet tone—
but the One who parts the seas
still speaks from the throne.
So hush now, heart.
Unlearn their noise.
Let heaven reframe your view.
The Unseen One is calling—
and He’s calling you.
