So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight of God and man.Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Proverbs 3:4-6 (Amplified Bible)
What does it mean to "not rely on your own insight or understanding" it is something I am very much trying to live out. God being all knowing knows just that, "all" so when I am impatient with anything is that not just me acting the same as a child throwing a temper tantrum?
I find I am surrounded by so many good things that I longed for in past years yet I loose sight of this as my own thoughts lead to impatience and discontent.
Lord I need to trust your understanding and not mine! I don't see tomorrow or the hearts motivation of others and therefore I need to lean only on you and patiently wait! You allow me to experience this adventure called life, direct and make straight and plain my path, as I trust in you.
