Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; God is the one who will keep you on track.
-Proverbs 3:5-6
These words from the Message translation really stuck with me today. What does it mean for you to trust God from the bottom of your heart? Dig way down deep and don't just trust God on the surface or with those situations that seem easy. What are some challenging situations or places that you've traveled in your life where trusting God meant you had to really dig in?
I know that I can easily shift into auto pilot and try to take charge of everything on my own, forgetting that God's plan is far greater than mine. These words in Proverbs can be a daily reminder for me to listen for God in each moment of my day and be open to where God is guiding me to go.
Take a moment to think about your day so far. How have you put your trust in God? What actions have you chosen that help you to continue to trust? What times in your day did you just move so quickly that you didn't take a moment to listen for God's leading?
Prayer for Today
Gracious God, I'm going to look for you every day. I expect I'll see you around. Give me a heart that's open to your mysteries so that I can see and hear your work happening right before me. In Christ's Name, Amen.
