God’s trustworthiness encompasses all of life; His unlimited wisdom and comprehension greatly exceed our own. As Creator of the universe, it is He who gives us wisdom and knowledge. Yet He never intends for us to exercise our intellect independently of Him. He calls us to acknowledge Him as the source of all wisdom, to follow His revealed Word, and to trust His ways in all we do. It is in trusting God wholeheartedly that we show ourselves trustworthy to others.
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
Prayer: Lord, we humbly confess that far too often we cling to our limited understanding instead of trusting You. Forgive us and restore us, as we humble ourselves before You and submit our lives to Your wisdom and ways. Restore our relationship with You and with others, we ask in Jesus’ name, amen.
