“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.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

I want to dissect this verse with you today. First, I just want to say how much this verse has impacted me in this season of my life… I’ve literally had to recite this verse in my mind, I don’t know how many times exactly, but a lot! Now let’s get into it, I feel like it all stems back from the beginning. I feel like everything stems back to the beginning, but anyways… Since the beginning mankind has had trust issues. I say that because if we trusted Gods words enough, we wouldn’t take matters into our own hands a lot of the times. It’s in our sinful nature to want to be in control of everything. It’s in our sinful nature to want to know everything… But we need to comprehend that our God is way bigger than we think. You know what else the word of God says ?

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Psalmist understood it best… Let’s read below,

“Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭6‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

We can’t possibly think that we can understand God completely. He is the creator of the whole universe. I always like going back to the design argument because it makes so much sense. A chair obviously needed a designer, can a chair possibly understand the mind of the human being that was used to make it…? So if God is the creator of everything, why is it even a thought in our minds, that we can possibly comprehend him. We can’t understand his ways, nor can we understand his thoughts. But this should give us hope and peace, the creator of the whole world holds everything in his hands. If your eyes have seen and you’ve tasted of his goodness, why doubt… I think we all go through a stage in our lives, where we question the existence of God. Some will circle around and understand what I am saying today. While others will just continue their lives and deny his existence. I get people sometimes, because we can’t physically see God. But creation as a whole speaks of his existence… If we look around, Gods finger prints are all over. Even the way we do things as human beings, it reveals his very nature. People in the world can make up their own ideologies or whatever, but God will be the only one remaining at the end… God speaks about that a lot in his word. If I’m being honest this year has been a difficult year for me, but it’s been the most revealing year for me. I believe that God has revealed himself more to me, and spoken more clearer. You see when you keep your sight on man, it could be really easy to loose sight of our Heavenly Father. That is why I am so grateful to God that he left us a guide, if you think about it he left us a lot of tools.

I want to circle back around to the first verse that I wrote. I think that verse is so important to recite, because there are really going to be things in life that you won’t understand. We are human beings who always want answers, and control, but when it comes to God you won’t always have it. Our minds can’t comprehend his ways! I can assure you that there will be times when you won’t understand why things happen. There will be times when you will ask why hasn’t it happened yet. There will be so many questions, but you have to remind yourself of the God you serve. He is the God who sees all things. He is the God who knows all things. Knowing His words, should give us assurance and hope… He is the creator of the whole universe… Guess what? The word of God states that all things work for the good of those who love him. Focus on seeking him and have childlike faith. We can’t comprehend the creator because we are the creation, beings who are lower than him and still he made us in his image! If you stopped to pause and think about God, you would be in awe!

Dwell on this verse…

“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.”
‭‭

Trust in him, he has all the answers you need. He is the answer!
