The Paths of Life

Let God direct you on the paths of life. When you let God direct you, there will be times when you don't understand. We simply don't understand all the ways of God. Trusting God is depending upon Him to help you and direct you. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). Our understanding of God is limited. So, trust God when you understand, and when you don't.

God will direct you, as you trust Him. A personal relationship with God is trusting Him, because He is trustworthy. Believing His word is trusting God. Be willing to trust God on all the paths of life. "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust" (Psalm 91:2).

Trust God by trusting His promises. The Bible gives you the written promises of God. Trust the promises of God. He is the Promise-Keeper. His word of promise is the foundation of your faith. Trust God on every path of life. Trusting God is believing  His word of promise.

A child does not understand everything about his parents, yet that child is capable of trusting them. So it is in our relationship with God. He certainly does not expect us to understand all about Him, but He does expect us to trust Him on the paths of life. Trust God to direct your paths.
