Scripture: Proverbs 3: 5-7
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Scripture Commentary: God gives us the choice to trust Him.
Do you fully trust God or only partially trust Him? When do you turn to Him – all the time or when you run into trouble? Most of us do our own thing our own way and over the course of time, the mistakes pile up. God gives us the gift of choice; we choose when to call on Him.
Learn to trust God.
God does not force himself on us. He’s just there for us. We learn to trust Him. The learning curve is short for some, but there are those who never learn to put their trust in Him. God is a better judge than we for what’s best for us. We may not get what we want but God gives us what is best for us.
We must never try to think for God or discount what He is doing in our life. His ways are not our ways; His time is not our time. We must acknowledge God in all our ways. This means turning everything over to Him.
Don’t rely on yourself. Put God first in your life. Make Him a vital part of everything you say and do. Trust God completely, without question.
