People go astray.why? ( Isaiah 66 v 2 )

One of the important  verses in the Bible is Proverbs 3 v 5,'Trust in the Lord with al your heart and lean not upon your own understanding'. I once said to a minister that he sounded like a Jehovah Witness,for he was doing exactly that, leaning upon his own understanding ,instead of by faith,instead of accepting the Word of God for what it is. Selwyn Hughes commenting on  on Isaiah 66 v 2,which reads,'This is the one I esteem ; he who is humble and contrite in spirit,and trembles at my word'.said this,' Sad to say  ,much of the clutter in the well  from which the truth of scripture is drawn has been cast there by ministers and leaders who sit in judgement over the Bible rather than sitting under it in humility. Isa 66 v 2 tells us that God esteems those who tremble at His Word. Those who deny the   authoritative nature of the Bible do not tremble at His Word they prefer it seems ,to tamper with it instead,'
