Trust In The Lord - Reliance

Proverbs 3:5-6

New International Version (NIV)

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Rely on the wisdom and power of God and not of your own understanding only.

Instruction:
Prov 3:5 Trust the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

Promise:
Prov 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

You can never rely on God if your perception is limited only on what you can see. The Bible said: We do not look at the things that can be seen. We look at the things that cannot be seen. The things that can be seen will come to an end. But the things that cannot be seen will last forever. 2Cor 4:18 NLV

Relying and trusting God required the activation of our eyes of faith. The bible said: Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see. Heb 11:1 GW

When we move our trust and dependence to God, we rest upon the unlimited, unmatched ability and strength of our Lord.  In doing so, we rest securely on the Almighty regardless of what difficulties we are facing.

We need to seek God not just when we think we need Him, bur rather in every avenue of our lives, we are to see the omnipresent God, leaning on Him, listening to that still small voice that gives us divine direction.
