Trust in the Lord

Proverbs 3:5
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight."

From the surfer's devotional this morning...
We spend way too much time trying to scheme and manipulate situations that God has already given us clear direction on. We often do this because we desire what is best for us and are unsure whether God is as committed to that same outcome as we are. The basic problem is that, as broken creatures, we don’t know what’s best for us. But God does and He desires what will bring Him glory and will be the best for you. History bares this out. Just look at the cross. It may not make sense to the “world” but it does make sense in God’s economy. So trust and don’t second guess Him. Just obey.
