Understanding And Trust
SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 3:5 NLT Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
NUGGET
If you’ve been in the church for any amount of time, then you’ve probably heard the Bible verse above. It sounds nice ,but how do we really trust in the Lord? The answer lies in the same few verses…we don’t lean on what we can understand. Oftentimes, the journey of life involves twists, turns and a whole lot of waiting. But when we choose to trust in Jesus, we can rest in His character and that His heart for us is good. Even in the roads we don’t quite understand, He understands and can be trusted to lead us.
ACTIVATION
Where are you struggling to trust the Lord today? Write these areas down and then as an act of surrender, open your hands and release what you think you understand for trusting the One who understands everything.
PRAYER
Lord, I confess that it’s hard to let go of what I know and understand…especially when I think things should be going differently by now. Give me grace to let go of my own understanding and lean back into who You are.
