Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
And do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
The word heart in this verse
is translated from the Hebrew word leb
which literally means: the inner man, mind, understanding, will, soul, etc. It
is much more than our emotions. We need to trust in God with every part of our
being. We need to give Him everything: our emotions, our desires, our
appetites, our reasoning, our understanding, our wisdom. Then we need to allow
Him to guide them, to teach them, to correct them. We should not lean on our
own understanding, trusting our own wisdom or desires to guide us for they are
faulty. We need to make God our highest authority in everything and be willing
to change our ideas and desires to match His. That is the beginning of wisdom
and truth. We need to let God lead our hearts where they should go, not follow
our hearts wherever they wander. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
