Trust in the Lord with All Thine Heart: Daily Devotional

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.

Trust His Timing - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) - "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Devotional: In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel impatient and anxious when things don't happen as quickly as we desire. We often want things to unfold according to our own timelines, but God's ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. As Christians, we are called to trust His timing, knowing that He has a purpose and plan for every season of our lives. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, King Solomon reminds us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. Just as the changing seasons are a part of God's creation, so are the different seasons in our lives. Each season serves a purpose, whether it be a time of growth, waiting, or healing. During times of waiting, it's natural to feel discouraged or uncertain. But God's Word reassures us that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their...

God is Great: Daily Devotional

    "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." - Psalm 145:3 (NIV) As Christians, we have the privilege of serving a great God. His greatness is beyond our comprehension, and it's something that we can never fully understand. Our God is infinite, all-powerful, and all-knowing. He created the universe with a word and sustains it by His will. He knows every detail about our lives, and His plans for us are perfect. When we focus on the greatness of our God, it puts all our problems into perspective. No matter what we're going through, we can trust that God is greater than our circumstances. He has the power to heal, restore, and provide. He is faithful to His promises and will never leave us nor forsake us. As we go about our day, let us remember that God is great. Let us worship Him in spirit and truth, giving Him the praise and honor He deserves. When we encounter difficulties, let us turn to Him and trust that He will work all thin...
