Those who trust their own insight are
foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe. Proverbs 28:26.
Trust…to be secure—to feel safe—confident.
The Israelites trusted themselves and look
where it got them.
"Flee, save your lives, that you may be
like a juniper in the wilderness. For because of your trust in your own
achievements and treasures, even you yourself will be captured; and Chemosh
will go off into exile together with his priests and his princes. Jeremiah
48:6-7 NASB
The Bible gives us lots of direction to “trust”—especially
to trust in the Lord.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do
not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5.
But those who trust in the LORD will find
new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not
grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Those who listen to instruction will
prosper; those who trust the LORD will be joyful. Proverbs 16:20.
I am teaching you today—yes, you—so you will
trust in the LORD. Proverbs 22:19
Do you have confidence in your own ideas and
insights—or do you seek God’s wisdom and feel secure living according to His
will and His way?
Prayer
~ Lord, I trust You, Your perfect will and wisdom. Thank you for guiding my
life.
