Trust in the Lord

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

We go through circumstances beyond our control every day of our life. Some are small and others are bigger than we can comprehend. Because of our earthly experiences the result of past successes and failures we think we know what to do, how to react. We lean on our own understanding.

The truth is that we do not have all the answers. Our choices are limited by our experiences. Even if we seek the counsel of others because they have had different experiences than us, we still may make the wrong choice.

The only one with all the answers is God. He knows us like nobody on this earth can know us; even ourselves. He knows His plan for our life and the choices that will keep us on that path. And yet we tend to seek Him last; after all the other options run out.

Or we try to do it both ways. We seek man made opinions and options while at the same time seeking Him for a solution. I am not sure if that is trusting in man with God as a backup plan or the other way around; trusting God but having man's plan as a backup in case God does not come through or come through in our timing.

God wants all of us all the time. He does not want to be a part time God. He wants us to trust in Him with all our heart, mind, and soul. He wants us to step past our own understanding and let Holy Spirit take over. Do that and He will show us the path that leads to Him to healing to righteousness.
