Leaning Not On Our Own Understanding

13 Aug

Inspired by a new friend I met recently.

Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

God without a doubt knows a thousand times what’s better for us than we do.   I know because my life never seemed to be going in the right direction until I trusted Him.  That doesn’t mean as fallen creatures we listen all the time, but the more we do and trust it works out the way it was supposed to.

Jeremiah 29:11 – 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

What is prospering in the eyes of the Lord?  It’s much different than the prosperity message we get from man.  It’s about prospering more for Him and the Kingdom.

God will never let us down.  Without even trying we always get ourselves in trouble.
