Shepherd to Sheep (3/17/25)
TEXT
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
REFLECTION
You know... LIFE is full of unknowns, ups and downs. And oftentimes, UNCERTAINTY can feel scary and very overwhelming. When we don't have all the answers or can't see where the road leads, instead of trusting in ourselves (me, myself & I), God calls us DEEPER to trust in Him. Our human understanding is finite, but God's wisdom is infinite. God's Word is perfect and of great depth. When you & I submit our plans, goals, dreams, and worries to Him, He promises to guide us with clarity, making our paths straight. Even in the midst of uncertainty, we can rest in the assurance that God is in control. Although this is challenging, one of the greatest points of growth in our faith is the ability to embrace surrender. We are told in Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Pastor Chuck Smith always said, "where the Lord guides, He provides."
APPLICATION
Hey believer... If you're facing uncertainty today, whether in your marriage & family, your job, relationships, or personal journey, remember that trusting God with your whole heart is the key. There are tools that God gives us and SURRENDER is such a powerful tool we get to EXERCISE as we walk in faith with God. We learn along the way to lean not on our own limited, finite understanding, but trust that God will lead us where we need to go. God sees. God knows. God hears. Trust God.
SUPPLICATION
Jesus, today I choose to trust You with all my heart. Help me to let go of my need for control and to lean on Your wisdom. Even when I don't know what lies ahead, I trust that You are guiding me. And that Your leading is best for my life. Please direct my steps and make my path clear, I trust you. In Jesus' name, amen. Pastor Mike
