Exodus 21-24, Proverbs 3

What God said to me – “Trust in Me with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”  That’s easy for you to believe when things are going great – when you and your loved ones are happy and healthy and prospering.  It’s when things go sideways and you encounter difficulty that you begin second guessing Me and rely on yourself.  You need to remember that you only see what is happening now – what is right before your eyes.  You don’t understand how “I AM” at work in you building your faith and revealing those things you need to surrender to Me.  I could have given the children of Israel a completely vacant land by moving all of their adversaries out at once but I knew that was not good for them in the long run – they needed  to learn how to be strong and to trust Me so I gave them opposition and things to overcome to teach them and to train them.  I do the same for you – don’t lean on your own understanding, but trust in Me.  What I do for you is for your good and My glory.  Trust Me.
