“Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart
and lean not unto thy
own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will
direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
This
passage sends a strong message. In our 21st Century world, we need
strong positive messages that evoke us to rely on God in spite of what human
nature tells us.
When we
trust someone, we do not try to second-guess his or her actions or their plans.
We
should approach God’s deeds and His plans in the same way.
Our own
understanding is very limited. Humanly we can only put faith in what we see. When God comes into our lives, we learn that He is always
trustworthy. In addition, we know God is reliable.
