Depend
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding;
6 think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
This is a common verse we have all heard many times, but do you really listen to it carefully. The word rely has a synonym, depend, that we don't often think about, in fact we probably think about being independent more than dependent. When you find the path you are are walking as a rocky road, what do you depend on to get down that rocky road. Is it a broom to clear the path, a stick to knock the rocks out of the way, or do you try to find another path to avoid the rough and tumble road. Maybe we are relying too much on ourselves to get down this path, and we should focus on trusting the Lord to get us down that rocky path. Sure we might slip on path during our walk, but God is always there to catch us and guide us. Remember that we aren't strong enough to do these things on our own, we need the Lord in every step of our life.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
