“Trust the LORD completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way.”

What a wonderful word from the Proverbs, “Trust the Lord completely…” Sure, it’s so important if we, as children of God, trust Him completely.

Trust is a deep sense of security that can only come from a solid relationship with God. As humans, we often hear and say, “I will do it,” “I can do it,” “I can do it myself,” and so on. This is a vivid manifestation of the human “I,” when a person feels that he or she is all-powerful.

Even among Christians, it has become common to act without relying on the Lord and trusting Him. However, trusting the Lord brings a unique peace and also the right direction for further steps. In Proverbs 3:5, there is a call to trust the Lord completely and not on human understanding. And in verse 6, God already takes steps to correct us if we know and trust Him.

In Psalm 56:3 we read, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” However, we must always remember the important fact that it is not only in times of trials, sufferings, and fears that we should remember the Lord. This verse simply reminds us once again that trust is especially important during times of trials, sufferings, difficulties.

We have numerous examples in the Bible of trusting God. One of the most powerful examples is the story of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac.

This was an extremely difficult test for Abraham because Isaac was the son through whom God had promised a blessing and an inheritance. Nevertheless, Abraham obeyed and went to do God’s will, even though it was impossible to understand it in human terms. At the last moment, God revealed that it was a test, and as a result, Abraham’s deep trust in the Lord saved Isaac.

Trusting God means relying on Him with all your heart, seeking His will, obeying Him, and believing that our Lord is the One who guides you, even in the situations that are humanly beyond understanding. He is the one who gave His life to save us and provide eternal life.

So let us trust and follow our Lord Jesus Christ.
