A Precious Promise: Trust
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. “Proverbs 3:5-6
Thoughts:
The dictionary definition of Trust is:
- a firm belief in the reliability of another,
- to have confidence in or to hope in someone.
So to receive this Promise of direction for our paths, we need to:
- Put our full confidence in God only,
- Not rely on our own intelligence or feelings,
- Recognize, accept and express thanks for God’s authority.
- In all our ways…thoughts, speech, actions.
Today let’s begin to trust God with all our heart and in all our ways, so as to receive His Promise of right direction for our lives.
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
Prayer:
Dear God,
I so want to trust You in everything but sometimes it is hard to completely let go.
Sometimes I trust You in my mind, but my heart is doubting.
Sometimes my heart is fully committed but my mind is reasoning.
And, as You know, sometimes my independent will gets in the way of acknowledging Your authority over all of my life.
But today, Father God, I want to begin really trusting You, for I want to receive Your promise of right direction for my life. Therefore, I am surrendering my will to You and I am putting my full confidence in You to lead me on right paths as I acknowledge You in all I say, think, and do.
Thank You God. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen
