Key Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding…
Context
Trust means resting the full weight of your heart on God’s wisdom. Acknowledge Him in every plan and path; He delights to direct those who listen. Surrender turns detours into directions. Scripture like Proverbs 3:5–6 was spoken into ordinary life—family pressures, work demands, and unpredictable circumstances. The same Lord speaks now. When we receive His Word as invitation rather than mere information, our calendar and inner dialogue shift toward trust.
Scripture Insight
Read the verse slowly. Notice repeated words and verbs that carry command or promise. Ask: What does this show about God’s character? Where does it challenge my pace or priorities? How does the gospel make this passage radiant with hope today?
Heart Check
Invite the Spirit to expose hurry, fear, and self-reliance. Confess specifically and receive grace fully. Grace trains us to say yes to God in the next small step.
