God is my way and my strength

Jeremiah 41:1-18
And they went on, stopping at Geruth Kimhan near Bethlehem on their way to Egypt to escape the Babylonians. They were afraid of them because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedalah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land.
After three months Gedaliah ignoring warnings, is assassinated by the king of Ammon's hit-man. Fearing reprisals from Babylon, the people make ready to escape to Egypt.
Why?
There were hate mind and patriotism existed in some Israelite when their country was broken and appointed king by Babylonian governor the land.
Somehow patriotism does not good to all people and his country, but the way should be follow the way of the Lord.
My wisdom is not enough but God is my way and my strength.
How?
Listen to the word of the Lord in stead of  our own strength and wisdom.
