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 (NIV)
Lord, I tend to hold onto lifeless trees. I mean they appear solid when I lean on them. I look up to make sure all that I trusted in is safe and right. Then I see it. I have been leaning on a dead tree that was going to snap with my weight and let me hurl into a ravine! Help me to trust only in You, God, and not all the dead trees that the world offers, including my own flawed understanding!
Questions for Pondering…
What are some of the unsafe things that I have leaned on in the past?
How did God rescue me from my lack of trust in Him?
