Trust in the Lord
I have always loved Proverbs 3:5,6.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5,6 (NIV)
These two Bible verses provide encouragement if we don't know which direction to head or if we're facing life decisions. It's comforting to know that God will direct our paths. All we have to do is trust Him and rest in His peace. But there is more to this passage in the Bible if we read the next two verses.
"Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones." Proverbs 3:7,8 (NIV)
This is a reminder about how trusting in God and following His ways leads to good health.
