Welcome to my contribution to Word-Filled Wednesday, hosted this week by the lovely Christy at Critty Joy. Be sure to stop by her blog for more visual inspiration from Scripture.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6Often when I'm following my own understanding, all I can see ahead of me is a huge drop into the unknown. So, I want to turn back and try another way, thinking that maybe I missed a turn, or I was following the wrong voice. My lack of trust in the Lord makes me doubt the path He has put me on. It's easier logically to trust my eyes and my own thought processes. But that's not what God asks us to do.
Don't trust your eyes - trust ME. Don't acknowledge your fears and doubts: acknowledge ME. Don't walk on paths of your own making: stay on MY path.
Thanks for reading. Be sure to stop by
