Trust

 Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.


Solomon calls us to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. We're not to 'hedge our bets'. God is completely trustworthy.

Even though he was the world's wisest man, Solomon knew not to lean on his own understanding. People sometimes describe Christianity as a crutch. In a sense it is, we all need to consciously lean on Christ.

We're not simply to muddle through life, hoping for the best, crossing our fingers. We're to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways. He'll never let us down.

We know the destination is a home in glory with the Lord. To be honest, we don't know every single step to get there. Yet we know our Guide, and we know that he is good.

'Sovereign God, may we trust you with our lives, as you lead us home to glory. For your honour and praise we pray, amen'
