I’m not sure if there is a more favorite passage for me in the Bible than Proverbs 3:5-6. It has everything in it to live for Jesus. I have found that when you apply it entirely to your life, God truly makes your path straight. You avoid the wrong turns and pitfalls that come from doing your own thing. Put your full trust in Jesus.
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 your paths straight.”
Everything You Need
Everything you need to live the Christian life is packed into these two verses. Solomon tells everyone how to know God’s path for your life and how to avoid getting off track. Two keys are hidden in here that would be easy to miss. The first is “with all of your heart,” and the second, “in all your ways.” Trust can’t be half-hearted. It has to be all in. It can’t be temporary, only when you need to get out of a jam. Trust is a day in, day out walk with Jesus where you look to Him for everything. Evidence of that trust is that you acknowledge Jesus in all of your ways.
Beware of This
There is a trip cord that can derail your walk. When you lean on your own understanding—this is the fight of the flesh vs. the Spirit. Your human nature wants to be in charge and make decisions. It wants to act like it knows what it is doing. Leaning on your own understanding leads you on the wrong path and away from God’s will.
Put Your Full Trust in Jesus
Don’t confuse “making your paths straight” with the easy Christian life. It means that when you make Jesus the center of your life and acknowledge Him before man, He will lead you on a path that is the right way. Psalm 23 tells us that He will lead us to green pastures, besides still waters, and through the valley of darkness. Put your full trust in Jesus, and watch as He leads you in the right way.
Thank you
Greeting to the jesus christ
John 6:35-40
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
John 5:25-30
25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
Thank you
