"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8
Has anyone you trusted ever let you down? I am going to assume the answer to that question is YES. Putting your trust in other people is a risk. That doesn't mean that we should not trust other people, it means that we need to be careful who we choose to put our confidence in.
There are certain traits that trustworthy people possess. They are usually honest, reliable, and caring. However, no matter how many trustworthy characteristics they possess, they are still human and capable of disappointing us.
Don't despair... There is One who we can put our trust in over and over and never be disappointed. That is the Lord!
Christians need to stop trusting the Lord as their last resort. When we put our trust in other people first and then the Lord, we have seriously got our priorities out of place. Our trust must first go to the Lord and He will direct us to the other people we can trust.
