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.

The Holy Spirit

  The Holy Spirit is a central figure in Christian theology and is considered the third person of the Trinity alongside the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is believed to be the source of divine power and guidance, and is associated with a number of teachings in the Bible and Christian theology.   Here is an outline of some of the main teachings related to the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a person: Although the Holy Spirit is often referred to as an "it," Christian theology teaches that the Holy Spirit is a personal being with its own consciousness, will, and emotions. The Holy Spirit is God: Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God, just like the Father and the Son. This belief is based on passages in the Bible that refer to the Holy Spirit as divine, such as Acts 5:3-4, where Ananias lies to the Holy Spirit and is said to have lied to God. The Holy Spirit is the giver of life: The Holy Spirit is associated with the creation of the world and the ongoing...

His Plans Are Good - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Devotional: Today, let us take comfort in the assurance that our heavenly Father has plans for us, plans that are filled with goodness and hope. It's easy to become anxious or uncertain about the future, but God's Word reminds us that His intentions for our lives are nothing short of remarkable. In Jeremiah 29:11, we discover a promise that speaks directly to our hearts. God is not a distant observer of our lives; He is intimately involved, and His plans for us are purposeful. Even when circumstances appear challenging, we can trust that God's intentions are for our ultimate well-being. In times of uncertainty, we often question what the future holds. However, God invites us to place our trust in Him, the One who knows the end from the beginning. As we do so, we can find peace in the know...

Victory Through Christ - Daily Devotional

  Verse: "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV) Devotional: In our journey as Christians, we often encounter trials, struggles, and moments when the challenges of life seem insurmountable. During these times, it's crucial to remember that our victory is not dependent on our own strength but on the grace of God through Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians, reminds us of this powerful truth: "Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." This verse is a source of immense encouragement and inspiration for every believer. As we navigate life's battles, we must anchor our faith in Christ. He is our ultimate source of strength and the key to our victory. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, and the powers of darkness. He offers us forgiveness, redemption, and the promise of eternal life. Victory through Chris...
