“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
Trusting with all my heart means I will not depend on my own understanding. Did that sink in? All my heart, not just a surface touch, a pretence, a dance around.
Imagine you are in a violent storm and you are on a bridge that is collapsing. A helicopter comes along and a man call to you, “jump from the bridge and I’ll catch you”. Would you do it if the bridge is creaking heavily and about to rupture or would you hang onto the bridge? I think I’d pray and ask the Lord to catch me. He has a greater success rate, and He could use the rescue team or somerhing I do not know of.
We cannot save ourselves, or defeat our enemy in our own strength, but we can win with our God, our shepherd. Amen!
