There are times in our lives when nothing seems to make sense. We question our current and past circumstances. We try to make the puzzle pieces fit our situations so we can come up with an answer to the question...WHY? We lean on our own understanding that is made up of good and bad experiences, good and bad information, and last but not least...good and bad advice from friends and family.
But when do we solely rely on God? Too many times, we FINALLY go to God when we have no other options. Our friends and family may become impatient with us or our church family has deserted us. All of our normal methods of coping with trials in our life are just not working. At this point we make one of two choices. We either continue down the same path of searching for answers or we submit ourselves to God.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says this:
Trust in the Lord with all your heat and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.
If you are hurting, confused, scared, depressed, hopeless, defeated, angry or sad...turn to the Lord for strength and guidance. Let him take your burden so that he can lighten your load. Allow yourself to grow from the trial and ready yourself to receive the blessings that await you. In every situation, God works for the good. Let God take your crooked path and make it straight. After all, it's much easier to navigate a straight path than a curvy one!
Blessings!
