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 your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5)
We have all been there before...imagine this: you are hungry and in a hurry so you run by a sandwich shop to grab a bite to eat and without fail, you end up in line behind a customer that appears to be taking their sweet time because it appears that they have never been in this particular restaurant in their life! It gets worse, as the person in line in front of you cannot seem to grasp the concept of ordering their sandwich and having a so-called "sandwich artist" pile all of the ingredients on their sub as they move down the assembly line, so your quick stop ends up being more like a 30 minute water torture event. You are late back to work and your afternoon is thrown off because some clown doesn't understand how they do things down at the local sandwich shop!
How much are we like that poor soul trying to understand and grasp all of God's goodness?? Luckily, for our sake, He is patient with us and not the impatient customer waiting in line behind us as we try to figure things out for ourselves. The key here is that God does NOT want us to attempt to lean on our own understanding and be wise in our own eyes, but TRUST in Him with ALL of our hearts. Sounds simple, but for some strange reason, it's not.
The next time you are in a place in your life where you can't seem to figure things out for yourself, turn it over and place your trust in God!
