We should not lean on our own understanding, but that does not mean we should not use our understanding. What the Bible tells us is that we need to trust in GOD for everything. That means we need to give up control of our own lives and hand it over to GOD.
We need to use our understanding but not lean on it. That means when we acknowledge GOD as our LEADER, our FATHER, our CREATOR and we learn that HIS ways are perfect, we need not depend on ourselves any longer. We are assured that GOD will lead us correctly.
How can we get to this point? It is actually a lot more simple than it sounds. Firstly we need a living, close relationship with GOD. This means taking everything to GOD in prayer. It means reading HIS word daily and learning to know when GOD is sending us a message or telling us how to proceed. Practise makes perfect. And this is especially true with our relationship with GOD. The more we speak to GOD the more we will hear HIS message to us.
The deeper our relationship grows, the more we will learn to trust in HIM and not lean on our own understanding. When we get to the point of leaving every decision to GOD then we are assured that HE will direct our paths.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that I can trust YOU for all that I am. I trust in YOU entirely FATHER. Direct my path. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay trustingly GOD blessed today.
