Read Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
All day long we put our trust and faith in things without giving it much thought. We put our trust in our cars, our phones, even the chairs we sit in. Yet we struggle to completely put our trust in God.
When was the last time you let go of something and trusted God completely with it? Have you ever stepped out in complete faith and trusted God’s leading in an area of your life?
Today’s passage gives us the promise that God is interested in you personally and has a desire to “make your paths straight.” Take some time today to write down things that you have held onto and are reluctant to trust God with. It could be your finances, serving, leading a group, or maybe it’s your heart. After you write out the list, pray and ask God to help you release those things to Him. Give Him the opportunity to lead you on a straighter path.
