Trust in the LORD

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM; HE will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). One of the most powerful Scriptures that I have read in a very long time that I have taken a very close look at. We have all read this verse and take as an essential part of what we are to do as a Christian. We simply dismiss it because it sounds so simple. But! it is not. To trust someone is so very difficult when there are so many places in our inner parts that are injured by someone. We have an innate ability to keep account of wrongdoings and to always remember what was done and how it was done. We simply make excuses. To trust someone that we have never met, seen, touched or experienced with our physical senses is even more difficult; but, we do it. To do it with our whole "heart" is even more difficult. The Scripture is saying to trust with our whole inner man--every aspect of our being. We have to do the most difficult and intentionally trust in HIM. This takes effort. This kind of effort takes a labor that must exclude all else. When we trust, we must vocalize our intentions to ward off what others might say or to deter the outside influences that might destroy growing trust. That is the heart of acknowledgement. When I acknowledge that I trust, I am not trying to convince myself; rather, I am declaring that I am taking a stand. I know that I know that I know I am right and that what I have heard of the LORD is correct. It is mighty to save. It is the anointing of GOD that tells me that I can do this. I trust my GOD with every inch of my being. I know that whatever has come my way, cannot destroy me or deter my life. No matter what. This is where my paths will be made straight; the fellowship that I have helps me to understand what the heart of wisdom is. Through wisdom, I will be able to better discern where I am to go. And! the LORD will be at work to ensure that I am safe from harm and from destruction.

Pushing forward. Believing. Trusting in HIM.
