Proverbs 3:5-7 (NIV) 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. 7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. One of our greatest temptations is to trust our self. We say, If you want it done right, do it yourself. We look to our own experiences, our own insights, our own intellect, when it is not even comparable with the infinite wisdom of God. Is it because we dont think God will answer us? Or perhaps we think He will not answer in a way that will please us. Why cant we trust Him to answer us in a way that is ultimately best for us? That is to place trust in His nature, in His heart. If I refuse to do that, I must ask myself why. Either I do not believe He is who the Word declares Him to be, or I prefer to make my own decisions and be my own lord. If I love Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, I should trust Him with all my heart as well.
