Maybe You Should Trade Places

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths."

Trust can be difficult, can't it? There have been times in my life when I put my trust in someone and was completely let down. And every time that happens, it makes it that much harder to trust them again. But while people will fail you, God will never let you down.

God has a master plan for every Christian… a blueprint for every believer… a wonderful will for your life as well as mine. And whether you are a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker, God has a purpose for your life. We can know for certain that God is in control, that we're not just aimlessly wandering and meandering through life, because the Scripture affirms that over and over again.

The Lord only asks that you trust in Him to know what's best for you… to not lean on your own understanding of how things should be. It's like that bumper sticker I see all the time that says, "If God is your copilot, then you better trade places!"

When you begin to trust in God for everything, He will do amazing things in your life for his glory!
