Trust in the Lord!

For Tuesday, November 29, 2022:

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

If you could ask God for one thing, what would it be? Solomon could have asked for great wealth, great power or a harem – but he already had those things. His request was for wisdom. If you are wise, everything else falls into place. Being wise includes trusting in the Lord with all your heart, and consulting with him about which paths to pursue. It had worked well for Solomon, and he wanted to share this principle of life with his son.

Many of us are afraid to let God direct our paths. We would much rather direct ourselves. But if being a child of God is our goal, we need to get out of the driver’s seat. The one who knows our destination should be the one doing the driving!

With the Bible, with leading of the Holy Spirit, through the counsel of others and with God-given common sense, the Lord will direct our paths. Trusting in the Lord, we will walk along our way of life and come to see that we have been on the path God intended all along!

God’s way is the best way!
