Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
What do you mean I don't have all the answers?! Isn't that what a lot of us ask ourselves? I know I was really good about seeking the answers within myself. I was never very much intro trusting other people's advice, because I always believed that their opinions about what I needed were less than fully informed.
But I never sought answers from the One who has them. I trusted myself for far too long, and I paid a price for it. When I finally started to trust God and His wisdom, I finally found what I was looking for. That doesn't mean I have it all figured out. Far from it. That just means I know where to go when I need questions answered.
For the longest time, I resisted going back to school. I felt that if I wanted to learn something, I could just get a few books on the particular subject and learn about it that way. I finally found the one book that taught me the things I really needed to hear and learn - the Bible. The Bible is a great source of information for all aspects of our lives. God's wisdom is all over every page of that book. One of the best things I ever did for myself was to open up His book and start reading.
How about now? Do I still seek His wisdom through His word? Yes I do...every day. Prayer is also a key part of that. Prayer is like asking a teacher questions in class. When I'm in God's word and I don't really understand something, I pray for God to explain it to me. He has been diligent in showing me what I have been looking for. He has joyfully shared His wisdom with me.
Dear Lord, thank You for showing me that I needed to rely on Your understanding and not my own. I trust You with all of my heart to show me the right way to go, and to teach me the things I need to live according to Your will and purpose for my life. Please continue to give me the wisdom I need to serve, honor, and glorify You in everything I do every day. In Jesus' name, Amen!
God Bless!!!
