“TRUST IN THE LORD!”

 

Proverbs 3:5-6                           (ESV)

    “[5] “TRUST IN THE LORD” with all your heart,

        and do not lean on your own understanding. 

    [6] IN ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge HIM,

        and HE will make straight your paths.”

Just a few days ago I wrote about the same focal passages that are listed above!  The emphasis was on IN ALL YOUR WAYS as we MUST always seek GOD’S WILL and PURPOSE in EVERYTHING we attempt.  Less than a week later I find myself being in a position to PROVE that I BELIEVE what I wrote, not just in word, but IN MY ACTIONS!!

Whether it is a family matter, a career decision, a household problem, or whatever else you place into the crucible of our finite minds, we are built to “TRUST IN THE LORD” with ALL our hearts!  It is SO simple to do what “we think” is best, but that is depending on our minds rather than THE LORD!  What “we think” is best might get us through a tough spot or two, but Divine Intervention is THE only way to ensure that THE PATH taken is where GOD wants you to go!

In Exodus 14, Moses could have REFUSED to “turn back” (Exodus 14:2) and proceeded “the easiest” way!  But GOD directed Moses and the Children of Israel to go to the banks of the Red Sea……and WAIT!  In Exodus 14:19-20 it is written “Then the angel of GOD who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the PILLAR OF CLOUD moved from before them and stood behind them, COMING BETWEEN the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. AND IT LIT UP THE NIGHT WITHOUT ONE COMING NEAR THE OTHER ALL NIGHT.”  The “darkness” can be a terrifying experience, but when we “TRUST IN THE LORD”, the fear has to flee!

FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause YOUR CLOUD to surround and support those who love and honor YOUR NAME!  Display that those who “TRUST IN THE LORD” have protection and providence prepared for them by the CREATOR!!!
