I use my phone a lot to get directions. Sometimes I just follow my own directions, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. I know God has a path for to follow as well. Its up to me to follow his directions and obey his commands. Its about trusting the Lord, I know when I follow his path I want get lost.

[h=1]Proverbs 3:5-6[/h][FONT=&quot]5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] and lean not on your own understanding;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6 in all your ways submit to him,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] and he will make your paths straight.[a][/FONT]

Amen...I guess the operative understanding of what it means "to trust in the Lord with all of one's heart" would be the 1st good thing to know. Then the other truths may fall in line too but without this first foundation down - can we really build the others accurately?

Amen, Von!

We are to trust God - He is trustworthy.

With all our heart, not a portion.

We are not to lean, on our own understanding - that's portioning out our heart.

In all our ways we are to acknowledge Him - know Him.

And He WILL direct our paths - not maybe, but WILL!

What a promise, our God is so trustworthy, why do we need our own understanding (opinions)? We don't! We are to walk in Him and in His truth. Thanks for the reminder, Von!
