To Whom Are We Listening? (part 6 of 16)

Life is full of perplexing situations. Sometimes it is difficult to make heads or tails of life’s circumstances. Have you tried to do your best at times only to have your efforts either rejected or simply fail to work out what you thought they could? Do you find yourself throwing up your hands exclaiming, “I can’t figure things out!”?

God wants us to know we don’t have to have it all figured out. Nor are we expected to come up with all the solutions to life’s dilemmas. God’s Word exhorts…

“(5) TRUST IN THE LORD with all your heart, and DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. (6) In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV)

Praise God that He has all of life in view. He can get us to where He is from where we are. Lean on His understanding. Follow His guidance. We can depend on it.

Have a great day trusting God to bring ORDER TO YOUR CHAOS!
