MESSAGE: Proverbs 3:5-6
DATE: June 5, 2022 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.   Proverbs 3:5-6

My Part: 

Trust in the Lord with all my heart.

Do not rely on my understanding.

Know him in all my ways.

God’s Part:

Make my paths straight.

Submission precedes Direction. 

“Faith means believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse.”
(Philip Yancey, “Disappointment With God”) 

“We receive enlightenment only in proportion as we give ourselves more and more completely to God in humble submission and love. We do not first see, then act; we act, then see… And that is why the man, who waits to see clearly, before he will believe, never starts on the journey.”  (Thomas Merton)
