Proverbs
3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and
lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
Today's
discussion text provides sound advice and encourages all believers to always
trust in the Lord, not with just head commitment, but with our total being
while refraining from trusting our own understanding of things. This is because
God's knowledge and ways far supersede those of man.
Another
point our scripture text makes is that trusting God totally believers is
Christ-centered and God focused as opposed to being self-centered.
Acknowledging God in all that we do is saying yes God is supreme and is perfect
in all that He does. Also, allowing God to direct our paths will lead to
believers achieving the goals God has for our lives, which cause believers to
make right choices. This also prevents all humanistic thinking and philosophies
that can only lead to self destruction.
Since
we have discussed the importance of totally trusting God and leaning not to our
own understanding; let's look at the blessing of a long life and peace with God
(v.3) as this manifests a right relationship with God. Another blessing for
totally trusting God is that during believers most difficult times believers
have the assurances of God presence, grace and help and as promised believers
will never be forsaken nor lacking any good thing.
Trust
God and He will direct our paths.
