John 2:23-25 NLT [23] Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him. [24] But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people. [25] No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.
Even when people trusted Jesus after He performed miraculous signs, Jesus was wise enough to not trust everyone.
We may get a lot of notoriety for something we’ve received or done. We may have gotten promoted at our jobs, increased in our finances, or have been put into a position of authority. These things attract people. And because of the nature of certain people’s hearts, everyone who surrounds us is not for us.
Some people want to be associated with greatness in order to launch their own platform, some people want to get free handouts, and some people just want to be close enough to get dirt on us to see us fail.
As we become more and more successful, we need to exercise wisdom on who we have in our inner circle. Everyone can’t be trusted. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal who is truly for you and not against you.
Moral of the Story: Don’t trust everyone.
