We all place trust and confidence in the “flesh” to some degree. This obviously comes in various degrees and in various forms. Paul gives a great a comparison of what it means to either trust in human efforts versus trusting in God.
Read Philippians 3:2-11; what kinds of things did Paul have to brag about concerning himself, his upbringing, his attitude, and his commitment to his work?
How did he view those things after meeting Jesus (see v. 7)
When we lean on our own achievements and efforts, what does it do to our faith in light of Genesis 15:6 and Ephesians 2:8,9).
What are our works apart from divine inspiration and motivation likened to in Isaiah 64:6?
