Scripture Proverbs 3:5-8

Many people today, including born again Christians, are going around simply just not knowing which way to turn. The things or people they trusted have let them down and they don't know what to do. They can't seem to handle or understand what is happening in their life. Are you going through this today, or maybe something similar to what I have described?

If you are, the answer is found in these verses of scripture. We are to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and we are not to lean unto our own understanding. When we trust him and don't try figure it all out for ourselves, we don't end up so confused. When we acknowledge Him, we will walk a straight path.

Our wisdom is nothing in comparison to God's wisdom. Verse 7 & 8 says that if we fear the Lord and depart from evil, it will bring health to our body and we will be much better off. It is so easy for us to want to go in our own way, but when we go our own way, the way that we understand and not God's way, we usually end up in trouble.

Regardless of what you are facing today, if you trust the Lord with all your heart and don't try to go it on your own, you will come through victorious. Jesus is always by our side, just waiting to be called upon for help. In Him we will find everything we need.




Trust in the Lord today
Don't try it on your own
He'll always see you through
For He's still on the throne
