"trust wholly in the Lord. Then the leaders will reveal that they are willing to be led, not by human wisdom, which is as useless to lean upon as is a broken reed, but by the wisdom of the Lord, who has said: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.” James 1:5, 6 . 8T 106.1"
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
The EGW passage directly quotes James 1:5,6 and connects it to the idea of not relying on human wisdom, which aligns with the principle in Proverbs 3:5. The connection is strong and reinforces the importance of trusting in God's wisdom.
