Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Learning not to lean on our own understanding is a big deal.
As we are growing up, we learn lots of things.
We go to school, and we are taught how to figure things out. We learn how to calculate things. We learn how to understand certain things. We learn how to think for ourselves and solve problems.
It all revolves around human intellect and human understanding. And this is good. We all need to learn these kinds of things.
But this should not be the end of our learning.
There is another kind of learning that is even more important.
It is learning to trust God in everything that comes our way, even when we might not understand things.
We may not understand why certain things happen. We may not understand the timing of things that happen. And we might not understand how to navigate those things that happen in the proper way.
This is where our trust in God comes in.
We need to learn to trust Him when nothing makes sense.
And we even need to trust Him when what He is showing us doesn’t make sense.
Why?
Because His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
This is a lesson that He has taught me repeatedly throughout my walk with Him.
And how do we learn this? How do we walk this out?
By putting Him first in everything we do and giving Him precedence even in our thoughts.
As we do this, we will see Him move in our lives, and our faith in Him will grow exponentially.
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
