I take this and apply it now when re reading
–Proverbs 3:5-6 “5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
I substitute ‘Trust” with the definition I got which says “go quickly for shelter or protection from danger or distress” in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
His directions are to Go quickly to Him for shelter or protection from danger or distress with ALL OF YOUR HEART and don’t even try to understand or think you know what He will do for you in your time of difficulty. Focus in all and everything you do and yield to His authority, control, and will. When you submit to Him in everything He will make your paths straight.
You should know from your own past experiences already. When you Trust in God he will never fail. Walk by faith and not by sight. What ever you been through. He always got you through. He never changes. Here are some cross reference scriptures
God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble. – Psalm 46:1 (CEV)
Depend fully on God, lean on Him and fully trust who He say He is.
-Doubt your default no matter what you may think according to your flesh. Don’t FOCUS on your problems. Focus on the Trust you have in HIM. Not what He can do. Focus = Trust in who HE is.
– Draw near to Him in all your ways. Build a relationship with Him. Take the time out to educate yourself on His word. Jesus is the one and only true savior.
