TRUST IN THE LORD

Scripture:   Proverbs 3:6-7 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

    A familiar passage of Scripture today, but very difficult verses for the average Christian to apply.  We are all about figuring out how to make things work the way we think they should work, so it’s hard for us to just place it all in His hands. We are always caught up in that part where we are leaning on our own understanding.  We need to realize today that our ways and God’s ways are not always the same.
    If we want Him to direct our paths then we must trust in Him.  Put faith in what He has said and in what He is able to do! Take our hands off of the wheel. He will guide us, in His time, if we will but trust Him.  Putting faith in the Lord will mean that we have to quit trying to figure it out!  Just know that He knows the right way and He will guide us in that way.
    Then we must trust Him “with all thine heart”.  The Lord does not want you to just believe a little of what He said, he wants you to believe all of it.  He wants all of your heart.  Trusting the Lord to lead us, to show us the right path requires our complete faith in Him! Do you believe with all your heart today that the Lord knows what He’s doing in your life?   
     Then we’re told that we need to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Acknowledge means to own or notice with special regard. Pay attention to what He is saying. Give Him the attention that you should in your life.  Let Him be the Guide and you be the follower.  The Bible promises that if we will do these things that He will direct our paths.  He has a plan and He knows the way and He will lead us if we can just trust Him, lean on Him and acknowledge Him in all our ways!
