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.

Never Lacking - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: Philippians 4:19 (NIV) - "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Devotional: As Christians, we are called to live a life of faith, trusting in God's promises to provide for all our needs. The verse from Philippians 4:19 assures us that our God is faithful and will never let us lack anything we truly need. This promise is not limited to just physical needs, but it encompasses our emotional, spiritual, and relational needs as well. Life can be filled with uncertainties, challenges, and seasons of lack. However, the Bible encourages us to hold fast to God's promise of provision, knowing that He is our ultimate source of abundance and blessings. When we face trials or times of scarcity, we can turn to the truth of Philippians 4:19 as a reminder of God's unwavering love and care for us. As we apply this verse in our daily lives, we are called to cultivate a deeper trust in God. Instead of worrying about...

Ask Massively - Daily Devotional

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. - John 14:13 - INSPIRATION   - I would  prefer to  begin this devotion by  supplying you with  this challenge: ask God  for nice  things! What  does one  want  to work out  in your life—in your family, your health, your finances and your career? What would you ask God if you knew  with none  doubt that  he's  good  which  His love for you lasts forever? Pray to God for them! Jesus came  in order that   you would possibly  live a life  that's  marked not by lack, but by abundance; not by despair, but by the fullness of His love, joy, and peace. I would  have you ever  write in your diary what  you'd  ask God if you knew He heard your prayers. What dreams, hopes and aspirations  does one  have? What  does one  wish  you'll  see happen in your ...

The Lord will Fight For You: Daily Devotional

    "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." - Exodus 14:14 (NIV) Life can be tough at times, and we can find ourselves in situations where we feel overwhelmed, powerless, and alone. It's in these moments that we must remember that we are not alone, for we have a God who is always with us and who promises to fight for us. In Exodus 14:14, God tells the Israelites, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." As Christians, we are called to trust in God's promises, even when things seem impossible. The Israelites faced the impossible task of crossing the Red Sea while being pursued by the Egyptians, but God made a way for them. He parted the sea, allowing them to cross on dry land, and then closed the sea back up, destroying the pursuing Egyptian army. The Israelites did not have to fight their battle because God fought for them. We too can trust that God will fight for us, whether it's against an enemy, a sickness, a financi...
