Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

 

Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.” Proverbs 12:15

“There is a way that seems right to a man but it’s end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12, 16:25

“The preparation of the heart belongs to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.” Proverbs 16:1

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his step.” Proverbs 16:9

“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel- that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21

“A man’s step are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way?” Proverbs 20:24

“Every way of a man is right in his own heart, but the Lord weighs the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2

“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

In this world there are so many things that we just don’t understand. So many questions, but no answer. I believe that God desires us not to ask but instead trust in Him that in whatever happens is to our best benefit. Mostly, when we or someone else are suffering, it is not about that person. It is about the people around them that are affected by those persons suffering. Our suffering comes to build character or strengthen us and the people around us. But most of it is to bring glorification to our Lord God. When we go about our daily lives, we must consider that God’s way is the only way that will bring us peace. When we have decisions to make, we must first seek God and pray. When we teach others, we must first ask God to give us the words to speak and the listener words to hear. Amazing things happen in our life when if we seek counsel with God and pray.
