Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
Solomon writes about the importance of trusting in the Lord. To trust anything or anyone other than the Lord leads to disaster. He goes on the remind his reader, “Don’t consider yourself wise.” Solomon is saying in as many ways as possible, to stay humble; put the Lord so high, and yourself so low, that there will never be a chance of confusing their proper places.
We live in a culture where we are told to trust no one but ourselves, that evidence is necessary in all circumstances, and if we do not understand we cannot be expected to follow. This is the exact opposite of what we have been called to do by Christ. We do not have the whole picture, and so our view is flawed. This causes our understanding to be untrustworthy. If we cannot trust ourselves, who can we trust? The only answer is God. God is the only one that holds the big picture, and we can trust Him, especially when we do not understand.
IF WE WILL BE HONEST, WE WILL ADMIT THAT WE CANNOT TRUST OURSELVES, WE DO WHAT WE SAY WE WILL NOT DO, AND WE DON’T DO WHAT WE SAY WE ARE GOING TO DO. WE MAKE THE WRONG DECISIONS BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE THE PROPER UNDERSTANDING.
TRUST GOD, HE DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO, HE DOESN’T DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL NOT DO, AND HE DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES.
TRUST GOD!!!
Psalm 84:12 O LORD of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts you.
Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth.
