Trust in the Lord

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Trusting is a tough job especially during the time of crisis. Unless we  learn a lesson from God, we may have less confidence whatsoever it is.

Trust is the practical outworking of faith, it is when we trust God, and we show that our faith in Him is real.

Often we feel we know better than God, but in reality -our wisdom and understanding is weak, dishonest and unreliable. 

We are like a broken reed. Lean on God’s word. 

God's ways are not our ways. The Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. This is solid, reliable understanding that we can lean on, and we can build our lives upon.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

In all your ways acknowledge him. And He will make your paths straight.

Believe that God is able to do what he has promised, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His will. The positive side of it, is your trust and faith.

With complete compliance and submission, depend upon him to perform all things for you, and not to lean on your own understanding.

When we rely on our understanding, the possibility of ending in calamity is more, because in our behavior, we are hesitant and tentative in our judgment. 

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6, It exposes the blueprint on which we are going to be lead by God. 

  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock Isaiah 26:3-4

Trust in the Lord with all your heart:

Lean not on your own understanding: 

In all your ways acknowledge him:

He will make your paths straight:

 

God bless
