Do Not Lean on Your Own Understanding

Posted on May 19, 2010 in Devotions |

Read part 1 first, Trust In The Lord.

Proverbs 3:5-6
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 straight your paths.

 

Don’t Lean on Your Understanding

The verse involves a positive–something you must do. But it also involves a negative–something you must not do. Don’t lean on your own understanding. Basically, the verse is telling us that we ought not to be self-reliant. We cannot pursue a course of action, a financial decision, a business move, a relationship, or an educational choice, simply based on our own understanding. It must be founded in our trust in God.

Self-reliance is such a deceptive trap. We begin to pride ourselves in something–our savvy, our looks, our intellect, our spirituality, our family, whatever. And when we do, it takes away our trust in the Lord. It has become trust in self. The result is a dangerous compromise that will lead to destruction.

Trust in The Lord

Posted on May 19, 2010 in Devotions |

It’s simple. It’s short. Yet it’s incredibly powerful. Proverbs 3:5-6 is one of the most familiar passages in the Bible–with good reason. It sets forth a life-changing truth that is worthy of our attention. Spend three minutes reading this article, and see if you agree.

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 straight your paths.

Trust in the Lord.

It starts with trust. Any real relationship has to start with some level of trust. It’s the only way a friendship will endure. It’s the only way a marriage will work out. It’s the simple reason why an employer hires workers, or why the workers stay employed. It’s all about trust. Trust in the Lord, however, takes on an entirely new dimension. This is our trust in an eternal, all-powerful, all-wise, all-loving God. He is worthy of our trust. The trust is important, not just because of who God is, but because of the way in which we must trust him: with all your heart. It involves every fiber of your being. That’s the kind of trust we can have in God–a complete, unshakable, deep, abiding trust.

Urgent – LBC Mission Project
Everyone is heartbroken at what Western NC is having to endure.  LBC has adopted Pine Branch Baptist Church in Bakersville, NC.  Preacher Teddy and Saundra are friends with the pastor, Bruce and Wendy Cannon.  Their church is a distribution site for items that have been donated.  In lieu of physical items at the current time, they have requested financial donations to purchase kerosene heaters, gas stoves, and fuel for both for many community members who are without heat and power, and have been told it may be January before they have these.  Preacher Bruce has been in touch with Lowes and Home Depot who are selling kerosene heaters at cost.  Our financial donations will be used to purchase what the community members need.  There are Mission Envelopes in the pews at church if you would like to donate.  Each week we will send a check to Preacher Bruce to purchase more of what his community members are in need of.  The needs change week to week, day to day, hour to hour.  If you would like to mail a check to us to get to them, our address is Lilesville Baptist Church, PO Box 305, Lilesville, NC  28091.
