"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all
your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your
paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
This passage is to be the heart cry of every Christian. Let's look carefully at each phrase and gain five insights into trusting God.
1.
Trust
in the Lord
Trust
the Lord of the universe. Trust the all-mighty and all-knowing Lord. He is
holy, just, loving, and faithful. He never changes and will never forsake you.
No one compares, and no one is as worthy of your trust.
2.
Trust
with all your heart
Trust
him completely. There is no reason to hesitate or give a second thought to
trusting him. Do not hold back. Trust him with all of your heart, soul, mind,
and strength.
3.
Do
not trust your own understanding
Do
not trust anyone else, especially yourself. You may know a lot, but God knows
even more. You may understand a lot, but God understands everything completely.
Watch out for blind spots, and be careful of wrong assumptions.
4.
In
all your ways submit to the Lord
Trusting
God means believing he loves you and wants what is best for you. Surrender to
his ways and his plans for you. Ask him to accomplish his purposes in your
life. Be willing to give up what is dear to you if you have to. Be willing to
follow his lead
5.
He
will guide and direct you
When you trust him, he will guide you in the right way. When you surrender your will to
his will, you will find peace. When you submit to him, he will make your way
clear. When you are proud you will stumble, but when you humbly trust God you will
be blessed.
This
is a great passage to read slowly, consider carefully, and take to heart. Pray these truths over yourself, your friends, and your family.
Lord, please help me
to trust you completely. Help me to trust you above all others. Help me to
trust you with all of my heart, without fear, and without hesitation. Help me
not to trust myself, my thoughts, my plans, and my ways. Help me to see you in
everything and submit all of my ways to you. Make your will clear to me, and
guide me in what is right and good. Amen
