How do we put our trust in men or make flesh our arm?

Thomas R. Valletta

“This revelation echoes the Book of Mormon reference to Isaiah’s caution. (Isa. 8:10.) The prophet Nephi taught the importance of trusting in revelation rather than in ‘the precepts of men’: ‘Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.’ (2 Ne. 28:31.)” (Oaks, The Lord’s Way, 21).
