Proverbs 3
It’s good to know where we are going. When I was in the Navy I was a Hovercraft Navigator. The crew of the craft trusted that I was guiding us to the correct location, whether it was a beach to land on, or a ship we were receiving a load from.
If a navigator becomes confused or unsure of the destination, the whole mission may be affected.
In the same way, our walk with the Lord may be impacted by our lack of understanding of what the will of God is. That’s why we are told to bind mercy and truth around our necks…and write them on the tablets of our hearts. When we do that, we find favor with man, and God.
This proverb also tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart, and not to lean on our own understanding. We should trust the instructions God has given us in His Word. When we live our lives for Him, we acknowledge Him as God, the Master of our lives. That’s when God is able to direct our path…when we are fully committed to Him.
Sometimes we like to try things on our own. We ask God to bless the things WE want to do. When those things fail we may blame God for not fulfilling the things that we wanted to accomplish. The problem is that we were heading in the wrong direction, and God won’t help us get to a destination that will be hazardous to our spiritual life.
So let’s trust in Him and follow His leading, because when we do, we will never be disappointed with the final outcome!
