Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

As I spend more time reading the book of Proverbs, I find myself appreciating its straightforward wisdom. The teachings are clear and accessible, offering guidance that is easy to understand. This leads to an important question: Where do we place our trust, and in what do we put our faith? Often, we encounter problems that seem unsolvable, situations that lack clear answers, and moments when we are uncertain about which path to take. The challenge arises when we attempt to navigate these difficulties relying solely on our own wisdom and understanding. Our tendency to depend on ourselves can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed, unable to find solutions or direction.

Instead, what we should be doing is seeking guidance from the source of all wisdom—God. By inviting God’s spirit to lead us, we find that trusting and having faith in God makes a significant difference. Reflecting on our lives, we can see moments when things worked out the way they needed to, even when we were uncertain. In those times, it was God who was guiding us along the path we were meant to follow. Trust in God truly means believing that God’s spirit will lead us to where we need to be. Looking back, there are many instances when I felt lost, but now I recognize how God was leading me throughout my life. This is true for everyone, if we take the time to acknowledge it. With each experience of recognizing God’s guidance, it becomes easier to trust Him in the future. This process is a learned skill, one that requires a lifetime of practice to fully acquire.
