petra1:


And you're more foolish a Christian if you trust more in the flesh than in God.

Pro 3:5 — Pro 3:6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

Jer 17:5 — Jer 17:6
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.


Jer 17:7 — Jer 17:8
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit

Trusting does not mean you should not work or study. It rather enhance your effort by crowning it with success.

Trust more?
Read Jeremiah 17 vs 5 again. That verse is clear that even an ounce of trust in man amounts to a curse on the one who trusts in man. This is God absolutely stating that All(not some) of your trust ought to be in Him and Him alone.
