Proverbs 3: 5&6 is my all time favorite verse.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." So check it out... First off He asks us to trust Him. With all the crap that goes on in our world who else should we trust? Can we trust? Jesus Christ is the only constant we can trust. Then how much should we really trust him? Just trust him with what you can see or touch or be in control of, that's what most of us do anyway. That's what I do sometimes. No. He says trust Me with "all" of your heart, not just what you or I can be in control of, what kind of real trust is that? Here's the kicker for me..."lean not on your own understanding..." So we are supposed to trust Him, even when things don't make sense to us? Yes! A resounding yes!! Sorry but that just doesn't make sense does it? Of course not, that's what real trust is all about. When you worked your butt off and your job didn't pan out, or that person you thought was "the one" wasn't. He wants you to trust Him when you are down and out, and things don't make any sense at all. He tells us "in all your ways acknowledge me, and I will make your paths straight." In laymens terms, He tells us give it up to Me, all of it, He knows everything, even the end of the story. He wants to comfort us and help us even when it doesn't make sense. How much do you really trust Jesus Christ? I know that if you really honestly give it up to Him and trust that he knows what He's doing. Things will work out for his will. Don't get me wrong here, i'm not saying it will be a bed of roses, sometimes quite the opposite. Sometimes he stretches us to our limits to see how much we trust. How great is our faith when we can't see around the corner? So just do it no matter how tough it gets. Trust in Him with "all" your heart. Reach out and take his outstretched hand. He deeply desires you today.
