Trust God

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.~Proverbs 3:5-6

Today I was reading about God’s instructions to Moses in Exodus 3:16-22.  God told Moses everything to do.  He told him what to say. He also told Him what the response would be from the elders of Israel and Pharaoh. He told Moses that He would perform wonders and then Pharaoh would let them go.  And when they went they would leave with favor from the Egyptian people. God had laid everything out for Moses.  All Moses had to do was to trust and obey.

God lays things out for us too.  He tells us in His word to trust Him with all our heart and to lean not to our own understanding(Proverbs 3:5). We must trust Him to do what He says He is going to do.  We must believe that His way is best.  His thoughts are far better.  

We must also acknowledge Him in all our ways (Proverbs 3:6) In the NIV translation it says submit.  We must yield our will to His and acknowledge that He is Lord in every area of our lives. When we do that He will direct our path.  He will make our path straight.  He will lay it all out.  We won’t have to worry about the obstacles because God’s got that.  We won’t have to worry about favor because God’s got that too.  We just have to trust and believe and walk in the instructions that gives us remembering it’s for His purpose and glory.  He will accomplish His Word(Isaiah 55:11).

Father, there is peace in trusting You.  Guide out steps and order our thoughts.  Help us to follow the instructions that you have given for our lives daily.  Let us walk in agreement with You.  We love You and honor You for goodness and grace.  There is none like You.  Thank You for being God and a good Father.  In Jesus name. Amen
