Trust

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)

What does this mean?

Solomon draws a sharp line between two postures: trusting God wholeheartedly versus leaning on your own limited understanding of a situation.

Human understanding is real but incomplete. Wisdom means trusting God precisely in the places your own reasoning runs out.

Identify one decision you're currently trying to solve purely by overthinking it, and consciously hand the outcome to God instead.

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:6
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD . For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
“Commit thy way unto the LORD ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
Psalm 37:5

What are you currently trying to figure out entirely on your own that you could instead trust God with?

Lord, my understanding is limited, but Your wisdom isn't. Help me trust You fully, especially where I can't see the way forward. Amen.
