God's Word For Today
Learning to Trust
Read Proverbs 1:1 through 4:27
It is always exciting when one of my sons comes to me and tells me he is ready to take the training wheels off his bicycle. On the sidewalk, I explain that he can trust that Dad will be right beside him ready to catch him if he starts to fall. It may take an hour or maybe a few days, but eventually I get the joy of watching my child ride with the wind blowing in his hair and a huge smile his face.
In much the same way, God asks us to trust Him with the leadership of our lives. As we become more mature in our faith, God desires for us to live passionate lives for Him that bring glory to His name. Christians can do that by following this advice:
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 (Proverbs 3:5–6).
Part of growing in our faith is believing that God can be trusted to lead us on the path that will bring us true life. If we can trust and submit to God we can be sure He will guide us to the best paths for our lives.
Thought for Today: God is always worthy of trust.
Quicklook: Proverbs 3:1–6
