Trust in the Lord with All Thine Heart: Daily Devotional

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)

- INSPIRATION -

Why has God commanded us not to rely on our own understanding, but to trust Him wholeheartedly? The answer is simple.

“There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12 AMPC)

Are there any of us who haven't suffered the consequences of making a wrong decision? Remember, there are things we are sure of before deciding what to do. But when a choice is made and the verdict of the outcome is in front of you, the outcome can bite like a viper or stink like a rotten egg. That is why the Lord commands us to trust Him to save us from ourselves.

Trusting the Lord means relying on, trusting, or relying on His wisdom to guide us in life. When we trust Him, we try to understand what He is saying and use His words and wisdom to guide our lives. An example of trust is perhaps the noblest form of human trust, trust in Jesus as Savior. Christianity has no meaning to the natural human mind, but we are totally dependent on what God tells us about sin, sinners, heaven, hell, Satan, etc.

But trust in God is not limited to salvation. It often has to do with the decisions we make every day, such as who to marry, start a ministry, make a financial move, move a family member, or make a business decision. I have. Know what God says in our lives. Sometimes that trust is expressed simply by praying and asking God for guidance.

Trusting God and not relying on our own understanding does not mean that we are stupid or intellectually helpless. The reason is much more complicated. Because the corrupt human mind is evil, deceitful, and cunning. It is the deceptive enemy of the darkness within, closer than Satan, the deceiver without. On this point, Jeremiah says:

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV)

So when God commands us to trust Him, His main purpose is to save us from ourselves. And how many of you have ever felt that life was over without it and that you would later get it and discover it wasn't what you thought it was? (heart)?

We often find ourselves believing lies, justifying bad motives, ignoring red flags, taking advantage of potential gains, and giving our opinion more than US intelligence agencies protect the US President. Protecting is such an expert. Heal your heart and let him spare you many heartaches and headaches. Even if we are Christians, the only way to escape the deception of our hearts is to keep them under the influence of the Spirit at all times. That's it.

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal.
