Trusting God’s Wisdom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Scripture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.\u201d
Proverbs 3:5 (ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Encouragement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like things to make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we can understand why something is happening, it feels easier to accept. But some seasons of life leave us with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did this happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did God allow this door to close?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why has the answer not come yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the path different from what I expected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 3:5 reminds us that trusting God means we do not depend entirely on our own understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our view is limited. We see what is happening today, but God sees the entire picture. He knows what came before, what is happening now, and what lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That does not mean we should never ask questions. It means our unanswered questions do not have to destroy our trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be times when God’s wisdom leads us differently than we would have chosen for ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those moments, faith says, \u201cLord, I do not understand this, but I trust that You know more than I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to understand God’s plan completely in order to follow Him faithfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust the wisdom of the One who sees the whole road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear all-knowing Father, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I confess that I often want everything to make sense before I trust You. Help me remember that Your understanding is perfect while mine is limited. When I have questions without answers, keep my heart anchored in who You are. Give me faith to follow Your wisdom instead of depending only on my own understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jesus\u2019 name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

First Step Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write down one question you have been asking God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underneath it, write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLord, I may not understand this, but I trust Your wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask God to help you release your need to know every answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thought for Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can trust God even when His wisdom is beyond my understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
