Happy Sunday, everyone! I don't get to it every Sunday, but when I do share a blog post, I like to keep Sundays for scripture. Currently, I am working slowly through the book of Proverbs. I share a short section of scripture, and then share my thoughts. At the end of this post, I will link up my previous posts I've done on the book of Proverbs. Let's dive in!
Sometimes, fully trusting in the Lord goes against our human understanding and instincts. We can find ourselves in a situation where it's extremely difficult to wrap our mind around fully trusting and completely giving up control to the Lord. Believe me when I tell you, I am totally preaching to myself here. This passage is telling us that if we completely acknowledge God, acknowledge and trust in Him fully, He will direct our paths.
How do we do this? How do we put our complete trust in the Lord and lay complete control at His feet? This is another one of those things where I have no easy answer, friends. There is no set formula. But, I will say, that I think the best place to start is prayer. Pray for God to show you how to trust Him. I believe that if you truly want to, He will give it to you. Seek Him earnestly in prayer!
Lean not on your own understanding, and certainly lean not on my understanding, either! Seek God in prayer, acknowledge Him, and trust Him. And He will direct your paths. And if you follow those paths that He directs you on, you are not guaranteed the perfect life in this world, but know that He will never steer you wrong!
********************
As I mentioned above, don't lean on my understanding...read God's Word for yourself, praying that He will give you understanding. I hope I have encouraged you to dig in to God's Word. Have a blessed week, everyone!
