Leaning Not to Our Own Understanding, but Leaning and Standing on The Word of God

“Our understanding is not like God’s understanding, so we must always seek Him to give us the understanding we need on a daily basis.”

Shaunelius L. Sterns

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV)

Everyday life happens when we awake from our sleep, but the thing is this, we do not know what is going to happen in that day. Sometimes we are faced with circumstances that we do not understand, nor do we know how we are going to get through those circumstances that we face. We go to our friends trying to get their opinions about things, we go to the internet to get answers to our problems, and we turn to books that still cannot answer our questions to our problems that we face.

When we are faced with uncertainties, we worry about it, we think about it, and we try to drown it out with things that we feel can wash it away, but what we forget is this, we forget all about the One who has the answers to all of our problems and circumstances that we will ever have to face in our life. We forget about the One who created us and who knows all about us, and everything that will ever happen in our life. We forget about the fact that all we have to do is open the Word of God and read it to gain understanding to the things we are facing. Everything we will ever need to know is in the Word of God, we just have to look for it, and ask God to show us what we should do. He will quiet our mind so we can hear His voice as He talks to us through His Word. We may not be able to solve our own problems by ourselves, but He will make a way for us to get through it with peace in our heart. Some things are not for us to understand, but He understands everything. When we turn to Jesus, no matter what we are going through, He will comfort our hearts, dry our tears, and lead us down the right path of life that has already been placed before us since before we were born. Along that path, we will have things to endure, we will have hard times, we will have moments of doubt, we will have times when we just do not want to continue down that path that is set before us, but He is there to walk along that path with us, we are never alone in anything we are faced with here in this life.

When we get tired of trying to figure things out on our own, we can stand and lean on the Word of God. There is no reason for us to worry about anything, because He tells us not to worry about anything. When we seek God, He will give us everything we need. He may not give us everything we ask for because He knows what is good for us, and some of the things we ask for may not be good for us. He knows best. He created us. We are to trust Him and have faith in Him, not in ourselves, because we do not always know what is best for us.

If you have not talked to Jesus today, go to Him in prayer and pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him everything that you are feeling. He already knows your heart and what is in your heart, but He wants you to still come and give it to Him so He can take away all of the hurt and pain that you are feeling in your heart and soul. He wants to give you a new life in Him. Just know that He loves you more than anything, and there is nothing that you can do to keep Him from loving you. It does not matter what you have done in your life. It does not matter where you have been, or where you are coming from, just know that He is waiting with his arms stretched out wide to receive you back into the family of God. Think about your eternal life and where you want to spend it, and who you want to spend it with. Jesus came that we may have life, and life more abundantly. What is it that you need Jesus to do for you today? What is it that you need Him to fix in your life? Who have you been praying for to come back to Jesus? I am here to tell you that He knows your every need before you can even ask of think it. He knows what is on your heart before you even let it come out of your mouth. He knows what you are feeling right this very moment, so there is no reason for you to try to hide anything from Him. Go to Him and lay it all at His feet and leave it there. Put it all in His hands and let Him fix whatever is broken in your life. I am a living witness at to what He can do when you have faith and trust in Him and not doubt Him. Having faith moves mountains because He is a mountain mover. Whatever you need in your life, go to Jesus and let Him work it out for you. He is waiting for you today. Do not harden your heart towards the one who loves you more than anyone ever could in this world.

John 3:16-17-For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV)

Romans 10:17-18-So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (KJV)

Turn to Jesus today, it will be the best decision you will ever make in your life for your eternal life.

As always, thank you for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul. God bless.
