Lean not on your own understanding

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. Proverbs 3.5-6



I hate, hate the feeling of being uneasy, restlessness, unfaithful. It has cripled me today. It has completely cripled my thoughts, actions, motives. It makes me sick.



"Trust in he Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." What a powerful statement. How much simpler does God need to put it. Trust him, put your heart in his hands and don't lean on your own understanding. It is so easy to think we know everything, why everything happens, and try to come up with our own reasoning and undertanding for events that happen. Yet we are called on to not lean on our own understanding. God has this view of our whole world, our whole world and yet we are continuely trying to tell him what everything means.



"In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." I need to get rid of these feelings, acknowledge Him, and let him guide my path. That is what I need, I want him to guide my path. Not me, no I am going to lean on him and not my own understanding.



Although there are many different things up in the air in my life right now, I need to put my trust in God, in his plan. I need to put my understanding in his understanding. I can't do this alone.
