We may have many resources, but we only have one Source. When you try to turn a resource into your source, you set yourself up for a fall.
You can exchange the God of Israel for a god of the culture, but be careful, because the gods of the culture will let you down.
- both from Dr. Tony Evans
There can be a variety of different resources which we mistakenly trust as our source, but there is only one Provider for all that we need. God may provide for our needs through different types of resources at different times in our lives, and if we invest our trust in any (set of) resource(s) instead of our Source, our life will feel like turmoil when God is merely changing resources for us.
