Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
In considering the most important verses to learn and live by Proverbs 3:5-6 are definitely near the top of the list. In understanding how difficult life is the God of the universe invites us to trust Him for the direction our lives should be going. Rather than trying to figure out the direction of our life, we consult with and receive wisdom and direction from the only one who knows what is best for us.
Let me ask a few questions:
Are you trusting God with your life decisions?
Do you trust God to believe He truly does know what is best for you?
What stories do you have of trusting God and then Him directing your steps?
What decisions are you facing that need heavenly insight?
Knowing that life brings much uncertainty even to the point of making us afraid I encourage you to resolve that as all sorts of decisions come you will trust in the Lord. David wrote in Psalm 56:3 this powerful statement: “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” The word whenever reminds us that they will be coming! Before the things that you are most afraid of happening happen make the commitment that you will be trusting God.
A March to Remember
For March 5, let us consider Revelation 1:5-6. Revelation 1:5-6 says, “From Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him [be] glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
As we recall what Jesus did for us at Easter John tells us that He loved us. It was His love for us that kept Him on the cross. In dying He washed us (loosed us) from our sins. What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! We add verse 6 as He now makes us brand new people, making us priests, and kings. Because of what Jesus did for us at Calvary as revealed in Revelation 1:5 may we on March 5 give glory and honor to Him! Worthy is the Lamb!
On March 5 we encourage you to read Matthew 5 to recall our Lord’s teaching. You can find the Bible reading plan on the Date the Word app.
