Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding….
“This is not the way it’s supposed to be….” Sadly, this refrain was (and sometimes still is) a large part of my vocabulary. I’m a planner, which is a gift in many situations, but it also causes me a lot of issues when I cling so tightly to my plans that I can’t let go and embrace God’s plans for me with all my heart.
Proverbs 3:6 …in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
It’s all tied up in trust and worry and self-sufficiency, issues I’ve been very open about struggling with. I’m thankful for a Savior who is sovereign and merciful enough for me to say, “I hate this. I would never choose this. I do not want this, but I trust You—that You are with me, that You are loving and good, that You are making a way, even now.”
Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for this morning’s scripture and the reminders and promises that it contains. Thank You for Your presence, Your compassion, and Your mercy. Draw me closer. Amen.
Proverbs 3:8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Have a blessed day.
