Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. —Proverbs 3:5
Maybe you’ve been leaning on your own understanding when your Father’s given you the security of His presence to lean on. And perhaps your path is not what you expected or hoped for. Mine isn’t either. But Proverbs tells us to wield our hearts to do what we know is true: In all our ways that feel reasonable, acknowledge that He is faithful. In all our ways that seem unreasonable, do the same.
The straightness of the path has less to do with the ease of our travel than the direction of our true destination. When we believe and walk in the light of His trustworthiness, we can hardly miss finding Him to be so.
The biggest decision you and I face today may not be what we will do next, but whom we will trust. . . . We’re to trust in the God who led His people into the desert so they might know the end of their power and the fullness of His provision. He’s doing the same with us this day. 1
