We don't know anything!

These verses are a great way to start the week of with!

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

For many I have heard them say that these verses are their favotire or they ther are their life verses. Verse 5 is so true and we need to learn these words and apply them daily. Trust God with your heart. Not just a portion of it...He wants it all. It is hard for us as humans to truly trust anyone with all of our heart because at some point or another somebody has hurt us. Even our closest loved ones have hurt us at some point. But with God it is not so. He can be counted on and trusted in all situations and He will never let us down because He always knows best...even if we don't see it!!! Verse 5 goes on to tell us not to lean on our own understanding which as followers of the living God we must do because God knows all the details of every situation and we do not. I can say for myself their have been times I have questioned God on certain situations and found out later that God did know best and I did not! Their are also times where I will not find out on this side of eternity why God allowed certain situations to turn out as they did but that goes back to trusting God with all of my heart and knowing God will always do waht is best because He loves us!

In verse 6 He tells us to acknowledge Him in all our ways! Do we do this. Not all the time! This is something we learn as we grow in the faith. It seems we always want to hold onto things until we really think we need some help. That is not what God wants from us He wants us to acknowledge Him in everything and everyplace. Do we do that? I know I don't always. Look at the promise God gives us if we do!!! He will direct our paths! God will lead us and guide us IF we acknowledge Him!!! That is love. God will guide our lives if we keep Him in front and allow Him to lead. I don't know about you but that makes me smile even on a Monday morning!!!

So today and everyday trust God, don't rely on your own human understanding of things, rely on God who knows all. Acknowlege Him and keep your focus on Him and He will guide you always!!! That is a promise from our Living God!

Have a great week!
