“It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.” – Psalm 118:8

“But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.” – John 2:24,25

“…..seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” – Jesus Matthew 6:33

If and when God and men contradict each other the rational position is to trust God over men and the irrational position is to trust men over God.
