10. That we must trust in God only, and
in Him we must glory.
In Jeremiah: “Let not the wise man
glory in his wisdom, neither let the strong man glory in his strength,
nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth
glory in this, that he understands and knows that I am the Lord, who do
mercy, and judgment, and righteousness upon the earth, because in them
is my pleasure, saith the Lord.”4232
Of the same thing in the
fifty-fourth Psalm: “In the Lord have I hoped; I will not
fear what man can do unto me.”4233
Also in the same place:
“To none but God alone is my soul subjected.”4234
Also
in the cxviith Psalm: “I will not fear what man can do unto
me; the Lord is my helper.”4235
Also in the same place:
“It is good to trust in the Lord rather than to trust in man; it
is good to hope in the Lord rather than to hope in
princes.”4236
Of
this same thing in Daniel: “But Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, there is no
need to answer thee concerning this word. For God, whom we serve,
is able to deliver us from the furnace of burning fire; and He will
deliver us from thine hand, O king. And if not, be it known unto
thee that we serve not thy gods, and we adore not the golden image
which thou hast set up.”4237
Likewise in Jeremiah:
“Cursed is the man who hath hope in man; and blessed is the man
who trusts in the Lord, and his hope shall be in God.”4238
Concerning this same thing in Deuteronomy: “Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou
serve.”4239
Of
this same thing to the Romans: “And they worshipped and
served the creature, forsaking the Creator. Wherefore also God
gave them up to ignominious passions.”4240
Of this thing also in
John: “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in this
world.”4241
