Trust in the Lord
From the Pastor’s Desk
Proverbs 3:5-6 are 2 of my favorite scriptures: 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. Notice that
God is telling us to “Trust” Him, not to simply “believe” that He exists.
Rather, God wants us to trust Him as a small child might trust his
mother or his father. Also, God wants us to do this whole heartedly. Just as a computer has default mechanisms to set programs, God wants our “default mechanism” to be Him. He does not want us to go into our own mode or our own understanding to figure out a way in fixing our problems. HE WANTS TO SOLVE THEM FOR US. So, He tells us to “lean not on our own understanding”. In fact, He wants our very life to be lived in acknowledgement of Him. People should know that He is our God and that we trust and believe in Him to guide us through good and bad. He tells us in His word and He comforts us in our spirit that He will be the One who will be giving us a
peace and comfort beyond all understanding as He “directs our paths”.
