This Is Confident Living!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your
ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths"
Proverbs 3: 5-6
There’s something very calming about repeating the words
of Scripture aloud. Those who know Proverbs 3:5-6 know
the power of saying to themselves, “Trust in the Lord
with
all your heart.”
When you don’t understand the crisis or solve a problem,
you can say, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” When
you can’t bear the pain or withstand the pressure, you can
remind yourself to “Trust in Him with all your heart.” When
the devil is relentless in attacking, you can calm your
nerves by repeating Proverbs 3:5-6.
What does it mean to not lean on your own understanding?
Well, sometimes we can’t figure things out on our own. At
certain moments, when we don't have answers. We must
acknowledge Jesus as Lord of all accidents and incidents.
He can open doors, solve issues, resolve problems, and
guide us step by step. He will direct our paths.
Trust in Him with all your heart!
"It is just as important to trust God as it is to obey
Him. When we disobey God, we defy His authority
and despise His holiness. But when we fail to trust
God we doubt His sovereignty and question His
goodness."
Jerry Bridges
