Lord's Guidance
A Christian 'store' with a purpose
Trust in the Lord
with all your heart.
Proverbs 3:5-6
************************
In the biblical book of Proverbs, chapter 3 and verses 5 and 6 are popular in the Christian faith.
People often quote them as a way of trusting God when things are tough.
They are a source of comfort when a person is going through a situation they don't understand.
The wisdom in Proverbs 3:5-6 is necessary for every situation you face in life.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Never rely on what you think you know.
Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
.... Proverbs 3:5-6
We are to trust God with all our hearts and not depend on what we know.
At all times, include God in everything you do, and this way, you give Him a chance to keep you on the right track.
You may not always know what lies ahead.
You don't always know what to do, and relying on your wisdom or intelligence will mislead you.
When you involve God in every action step you take to rectify a situation, you will arrive at the right solution.
The world has taught us that we are very capable of handling anything that comes our way.
Many of the methods don't include the power of God, but that of man.
As a child of God, put your trust in Him instead of the many ways of the world
.... Psalm 20:7
You believe what He says because you know He is always right and will never deceive you.
Trusting God comes naturally when you know Him and how He works.
It's hard to trust someone you don't know and can't rely on.
God is trustworthy and faithful and has proven Himself throughout the Bible.
When you spend time to read the scriptures, you will know God and His ways and be familiar with His will.
God expects that you will trust Him with all your heart, not just a part of it.
We love being in control and tend to stay away from anything that makes us lose our grasp of any situation.
That is why Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still," meaning that we should stop striving to do things in our strength.
Let go of your ideas or inventions, and allow the wisdom of God to prevail.
Your opinion should not rank higher than what our God says because you don't always know the truth about something.
You have to let go of what you think you know so that God can show you the truth.
You may have biased opinions based on false beliefs.
God has given us the Spirit of truth - the Holy Spirit - to show us the truth in every situation we face.
You live your life for Jesus after you are born again.
This means that God is a part of every area of your life and the things you do.
He wants to make sure you are always on the right track.
When you are intimate with God, you give Him access to all your life, not just a part of it.
You allow Him to have a say in the things you plan on doing to make sure you don't end up on a dead-end road.
Remember, there is a path that looks right to a man but in the end, it leads to death.
God's ways are perfect and He makes your ways secure and righteous.
The way we do things should reflect God's ways.
God's word is right and true and you can bank on it.
God is faithful and always stands by His word.
He is your helper and will help you when you don't know what to do.
He will never leave you or forsake you in your time of need.
Trust God always and your path will be secure and stable.
