Trust God

Proverbs 3:5,6
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.

You got to trust someone in order to have a good relationship. But absolute trust is challenging.
To believe with your entire heart means not to give in to any doubt or have any second thought about God.

How often we read that God loves us yet when things don’t go our way, we betray Him. “God, I trust you but only if you know…” The “BUT” betrays our lack of confidence in God. Each time we say ‘but’, we are asking God to look at things from our angle and suggesting subtly that He is not in control of the situation or does not have our best interest at heart.

We don’t let God in into all aspects of our lives most of the time. Until something has proven too difficult for us do we seek God and plead for divine help. That again is a tell-tale sign of our independence from God and a signal of our leaning on our own intelligence.

God desires all of us to walk before Him in humility and to believe that He is who claims Himself to be. To have faith in Him will help us in times of struggles to pray ‘Lord I believe, help my unbelief”.
