Trust in the LORD with all your heart

Proverbs 3:5 from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible encourages us to trust in the LORD with all our heart and not rely solely on our own understanding.

Trust is a fundamental aspect of our relationship with God. It requires us to have faith and confidence in His wisdom and guidance, even when we don’t fully comprehend His ways. Trusting in the LORD means surrendering our own limited understanding and acknowledging that His ways are higher than ours.

Often, we rely on our own understanding and try to figure things out on our own. We may think that we have all the answers or that we can control our circumstances. However, this verse reminds us that true wisdom comes from trusting in God and seeking His guidance.

Trusting in the LORD with all our heart means having complete reliance on Him. It involves acknowledging that He is the source of all wisdom and understanding. When we trust in God, we are acknowledging His sovereignty and allowing Him to direct our paths.

Trusting in the LORD with all our heart also requires humility. It means recognizing that we don’t have all the answers and that we need God’s guidance in every aspect of our lives. By leaning on Him rather than relying solely on our own understanding, we open ourselves up to His wisdom and guidance.

So, let us trust in the LORD with all our heart, surrendering our own understanding and seeking His wisdom in all things. As we do so, we can experience the peace and guidance that comes from relying on Him.
