Pro 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
It is always good to evaluate our trust in the Lord. Is there any way in which I am not fully trusting in Christ? Is there some area of my life in which I am leaning on my own understanding instead of leaning on the wisdom of the Lord?
True faith in God will manifest itself in obedience to Him. If I trust Him and believe his word then doing what He says will be the natural result.
My own understanding is flawed by sin. Pro 28:26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Jesus said the following, Mar 7:21-22 "For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness". These are the natural tendencies of my flesh therefore my flesh is not to be trusted.
However if I acknowledge (intimately know) Him in all my ways I have the promise that He will direct my path.
Fear God Hate Evil,
Nathan
