DEFINITION
Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5
NIV BIBLE
A very familiar scripture that echoes though the pulpits, and spreads across social media. We say we trust, but do we really trust? We say we lean not, but do we really mean it?
First of all we are instructed to TRUST with all of our heart
What does it mean to trust?
Remember that leap you took, in early years of school, when your friends caught you, and some even let you fall?
TRUST is that leap you take, knowing the other person will catch you, in confidence, and assurance, on the other side, without a single doubt, with your whole heart!
Trusting is not easy, but if you have full confidence and assurance in the person, trust is easy. God is always there when we need him.
Be strong and courageous, trust in the one, who holds everything in his hand
Second we are instructed not to lean on our understanding
It is natural for us to lean on our understanding, But GOD says NOT TO lean on human understanding, but instead submit to GOD.
Human understanding can fail us, but God never does. God’s ways of understanding is way above earthly understanding, and in order to learn his ways, we must study his ways.
Next we are to submit in all of our ways
STOP trying to figure things out, STOP trying to make sense of it all, and submit in all of our ways.
To submit is to yield to governance or authority.
Whose authority? GOD’S
and LAST, HE, GOD will direct and make our path straight aligned into perfect position with HIS will, and purpose for our lives.
He will lead us to all truth, if we only TRUST and submit to his will, willingly by letting go.
Like a child, we must let go, and leap into the unknown, trusting that he will catch us when we fall. With childlike faith, We must move by faith, and not by sight. This understanding is WAY above my human intellect, and his insight is deeper than my deepest thought, or reason, as high as the skies, and as deep as the oceans.
Only when we TRUST God, we are enabled to understand his ways. Wisdom that flows from above, and not the wisdom of this world.
FOR GREAT IS YOUR LOVE higher than the heavens, and faithfulness reaches to the top of the skies." For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
Psalm 108:4
NIV BIBLE
Listen to Proverbs 3 on the GO!

Help us in confidence, and assurance, move by faith, and not by sight. Help us to let go, and grab hold of what you have for us. Amen!
