Proverbs 3:5-6
0“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
These verses are an important reminder for everyone, but especially helpful for col- lege students. We’re all a little stubborn and don’t like relying on others for things we think we can do on our own. With finals week coming up, we need to realize that we can do all we can, but ultimately God has the upper hand. There are three important points you can take from these verses.
First, don’t rely on yourself for every- thing. We try to do everything on our own, but so many times, things would be a lot better if we took a little bit of help from God.
Second, He will direct your paths. If you stop and think about this verse, it really shows you a side of who God is and who He wants to be in your life. God doesn’t just want to be someone you call on when you are in trouble or dealing with a prob- lem. God wants to be the one that you call on all the time, just to make sure you are doing what is right.
Third, don’t be too proud. We all do it. We think we know what is best, and we get wise in our own eyes. But, once again, we need to be reminded that God knows what is best. We should rely on Him to direct us and keep us away from evil.
Overall, we should be more reliant on God and trust in Him to help us with what- ever we’re facing.
