Proverb of the day

Trusting in the Lord.....hmmm....sometimes that isn't so easy. When I first completely surrendered my life to Jesus, Proverbs 3:5-6 was the first scripture I memorized. More like lived by and clung on to. I was so unsure and so completely sort of dumbfounded that God really did love me and that He wanted good things for my life. I had such a horrible opinion of myself and had been hurt by "people" that I trusted so badly that it was very difficult to trust in God. Which brings me back to....trusting in the Lord....what does that mean? How do you do that? How do you trust in what you can't physically see or hear? But in the same way you learn to trust that when you open your mouth or your nostrils that oxygen will enter and you will continue to live until the next breath you take until eventually you don't even think about taking in the next breath...you just do because you know it will be there. That is sort of the same with me and the Lord. Sure there are times when I am like..."Ok, God what are you doing? What are your plans?" But amazingly...He always provides for me and leads me on into the next step with the security of knowing that He and I have a great relationship. It is a process...trust...but it is so worth working on and getting. Life is just better when you trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. If in all your ways, you acknowledge Him...He will make your paths straight! What a great promise.
