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.

He Answers Prayer: Daily Devotional

  “In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.” Psalm 18:6 (KJV) The God we serve is a God who answers prayers. He knows our needs before we even ask Him for help. He instituted prayer after the downfall of mankind to give us the opportunity to fellowship with Him. No wonder our Lord Jesus Christ said that at all times we ought to pray and not give up or lose heart (Luke 18:1).  The psalmist cried out to God in his distress, and God heard him and attended to his needs. Dear beloved, don’t wait till you get into trouble before you pray. Pray every day at least three times a day (Psalm 55:17). Prayer is fellowship with your heavenly Father; it is not always about asking God to meet your needs. Pray for your community and your nation so that the will of God will be established. Pray in faith based on the Word of God, and God will attend to you. Hallelujah! God bless you! ©️...

Is there scientific proof of God's existence? - Bible Teachings

  The concept of scientific proof for God's existence is a complex and debated topic, as science deals with the empirical study of the natural world, while God is often considered a supernatural being. However, the Bible does contain teachings and verses that address the relationship between faith, reason, and the search for understanding God's existence. Let's explore these teachings and Bible verses: 1. God's Invisible Qualities and Creation: The Bible acknowledges that certain aspects of God, such as His eternal power and divine nature, are revealed through the observation of the natural world. Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This verse suggests that God's existence can be recognized through the intricate design and order of creation, although it may not provide scientific p...
