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."

Trusting the Lord is a blessing! :)

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."
Here's one of my favorite Sinclair Ferguson quotes that seems to be along this same line of thought (though from a somewhat different angle):

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed (in other words, don’t look to the wicked or at the wicked, but rather “the Lord,” and in Him put your “trust”).

Delight yourself also in the LORD: and He shall give you the desires of your heart (what a Promise!).

Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.

And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday (these things will ultimately be rewarded).

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass (in Verses 3-7 we have the four keys to a victorious life: “Trust,” “Delight,” “Commit,” and “Rest”).

This can only be done if the Believer place there Faith exclusively in Christ and His Finished Work at Calvary, i.e., The Cross, i.e., The Blood of Jesus (Romans 8:2). This allows the Holy Spirit who works strictly in the parameters of Christ and the Finished Work to accomplish this for us (Romans 8:2).
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."

Trusting the Lord is a blessing! :)
If the body is dead because of sin (Romans 8:10), how do we do what the scripture ask of us to do?

Some people lean on their own misunderstanding.

We can do it through the new life given, a new creature arises able to walk after the spirit

2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
