Proverbs 3:5-6 (CB)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Trusting the Lord begins with commitment. Nothing less than “all your heart.” Choices, decisions, motives, intentions must all be directed toward what God wants & what God can do. Trust God’s loving power, leaving your ambitions behind. Trust His truth and His wisdom. Our own understanding is tainted with foolish pride. The path we walk is marked by Him (v6), and the power to walk is His gift.
