Proverbs 3

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
The pathway to life doesn't depend upon our knowing of it, but rather in the knowing of the One who does. Our our understanding is limited and feeble, held back our own perspective and tiny view of Truth. Instead it is ours to trust and acknowledge that our Savior God has all knowledge and desires to show us the way. The question remains however, will we be listening when He speaks it? Will we choose to then acknowledge His response to our dilema? If we will, then we shall be directed and we shall have His knowledge imparted.

To trust is to let go. We must let go of our desire to want to contol, to understand, to think out the best resolution. We must trust that His mighty hands are ever under us, and if we will but let go and be free of what we want, of what our expectation are, then we will see the Glory of God! Do we honestly expect to see what He has for us if we are still looking at our own ability to conquer? David would still be on the edge of that battlefield looking at Goliath if that were the case. No, instead we hurl ourselves headlong into the field of the enemy with the Stone that will bring down our foe.

Will we abandon ourselves to His glory? Will we like David be more concerned about the Name of Christ than about our own security? And yet, David knew that the enemy's head would that day be released from it's roots. Why, because He somehow knew his own ability would be enough? No, because He was confident, he Trusted, in His God and was not willing to wait for the strength of man. He did not trust his own understanding, but trusted in His MIGHTY GOD!

How must we trust God? How must we acknowledge Him? As David did before his opressor! With complete abandon to God as we run headlong down that path that He has chosen since the foundation of the world! There is no other way. There is no other way.
