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.<\/p>\n

God tells us that we should not lean on our own understanding.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

He has given us a brain. He has given us the ability to think and to reason.<\/p>\n

Why then should we not lean (rely) on our own understanding?<\/p>\n

It is important for us to understand that there are some things that are beyond our reasoning and our human understanding.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 \u201cFor as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.<\/p>\n

He wants us to think and reason, but He also wants us to rely on the Holy Spirit when making choices and decisions.<\/p>\n

Human emotions are like a rollercoaster. They can cause us to make rash decisions that cost us dearly.<\/p>\n

Situations we face can cause us to become fearful. Fear will have us running frantically, looking for a solution to our problem when God wants us to run to Him.<\/p>\n

He holds the answer to every problem that we will ever face in our lifetime.<\/p>\n

Some answers will be simple. Some will be a bit more complicated. And others will defy human logic.<\/p>\n

Hence, going to God instead of always trying to figure things out based on our own understanding.<\/p>\n

This is a learning process. In fact, it is a lifelong learning process. It has no end.<\/p>\n

But over time, it will become less difficult for us to \u201cget it\u201d and we will begin going to God first, instead of waiting until we have been backed into a corner.<\/p>\n

And when we do<\/i> get it, our lives will become less stressful. And fear will dissipate as we learn to look to Him for our help and our understanding.<\/p>\n
