Where To Place Your Trust

"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" ~ Jeremiah 17:9

The Bible tells us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and lean not to our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Why? Because of this scripture.

If we put trust in ourselves, we will inevitably fail. Why? Because we are not sufficient on our own. We were born sinners and we were born to fail in the absence of God. It's only when we place our trust and reliance in and on God that we become all God has called us to be - that is, more than conquerors in Christ.

Where are you placing your trust today?

God bless,

Life Is Simple

"His mother said to the servants, 'Whatever He says to you, do it.'" ~ John 2:5

Humans are complicated beings. And as a result, we tend to complicate everything, often leading to confusion, stress, frustration, and ultimately stagnation.

But as complicated as we tend to make things, life really comes down to John 2:5: "whatever He says to you, do it."

That's why the Bible tells us that obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). God wants to know that He can speak and trust you to follow through.

It's also why the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). He knows that sometimes you will have to disobey your own logic to walk in obedience with Him (Isaiah 55:8-9).

In all, life really is this simple: "do whatever He tells you."

God bless,
J.W.
