Most people think they already know everything they need to know. The funny thing is, the older I get, the more I realize two things:
- I don’t know as much as I thought I knew.
- God was there for me even when I made wrong choices.
My entire life, I’ve always wanted to pray to God and have Him just give me the answers. Tell me what He wants me to do. Tell me which way to go. Tell me how to handle a situation. But that’s not how God works.
There are two verses in the Bible that are always quoted right next to each other: Proverbs 3, verses 5 and 6. But today, I wanna focus on just verse 5:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
To do that has been one of the more difficult things I’ve had to accomplish in life. I always wanna say, “I know what to do,” or “I got this.” But then, out of the blue, something unexpected happens.
But the cool thing is, no matter what unexpected things happen, God already knew what was going to happen, and He had a plan.
If you’re going through something, just try to take that verse as is. Trust in the Lord with everything you have, and stop thinking you already understand.
As always, I hope that helps. Until next time, take care and God bless.
