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. — Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. — Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
Bible Verse Reflection
Trusting the Lord for salvation should not be limited to our souls, but should be the driving force behind our lives. He is the One who knows best and works in our lives from an eternal perspective.
The plans He has in store for each of His children are beyond our comprehension. It is foolish to drink from the contaminated waters of the world’s broken cisterns, when God floods our hearts with His sparkling river of life.
His thoughts, wisdom, and knowledge go beyond our limited thinking, imaginings, and yet, we often choose to follow our own path and rely on our fleshly wisdom. It is not our job to make ourselves look good with our ill-advised understandings. Rather, we need to trust the Lord and take His Word into application.
My Prayer
Thank You Father for all that You know and that I can put my trust in You, my family, friends, work, finances, relationships, and my needs into Your hands. You are my Father. Keep me believing. I pray in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
