Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth. Proverbs 3:5-6 GW

Trust is defined; reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence, a person on whom or thing on which one relies: the obligation or responsibility imposed on a person in whom confidence or authority is placed.

AMPC version of this passage is; Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways, know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

We say we trust in God, even our money says we trust in God, but our hearts reflect worry, fear, and uncertainty. Where our trust lies is obvious in everything we do and say. Our actions or the direction we take also show what we trust in.

Trust with all your heart! That takes training your mind to think right thoughts about God. It’s understanding WHO He is and that He has good plans for you. It’s knowing that God is God and there is no one else that can do it like He can. It’s taking the ‘my way’ out of the equation. It’s trusting that regardless of what it looks like now, it’s going to be beautiful when it’s finished.

The road you’re on right now may be filled with rocks and holes, but do you hear that? God has a bulldozer on the way to clear your path so that where you’re walking right now will look a whole lot different if you’ll just step out of the way and trust Him.

It’s going to be seen by all, so don’t fret, just trust Him. He is faithful, true, and perfect in all of His ways. He is watching over you to keep and protect you. He’s your provider, healer, and deliverer. Nothing is too hard for Him. It may not look like YOU pictured it, but it will be exactly what you need. He loves you!
