TRUST IN THE LORD!

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

“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.”

Over the years I have kept Proverbs 3:5-6 in my heart. I am not sure at what age I set the words to memory, but it certainly has been more than seventy years ago. That is the thing about the Word of God — it never changes. We may change, but the Word of God remains steadfast and true.

To trust means we rely on the strength or ability of someone or something. As we read today’s Scripture we see how vital it is for us to rely on the One who is above all others?

Our task is to place our full trust in the Lord completely. That means we talk with Him as we read His Word and, before we take any action we ask for His will in the matter. Just think of all the messy situations we could have avoided across the years of our lives if we had placed our trust in Him rather than relying on our own abilities or our own understanding.

We may not be able to undo all of our past mistakes when we have left the Lord out of our decisions, but we can certainly do something about it now. We can make a new commitment to repeat these two verses each morning and then follow His directions, TRUST IN THE LORD!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
