not only trust in the
Lord, but that we must
trust only in Him and to;
“lean not on your own
understanding.” To me,
this means to ask Him
for His guidance in all
things, first, before go-
ing on our own.
“In all your ways ac-
knowledge Him, and he
will make straight your
paths”. (Proverbs 3:6)
If we can learn to com-
pletely trust God with
our lives, then we can
walk with confidence,
we can be assured that
He will direct our paths
and that we will surely
walk in the paths of righ-
teousness as God would

The Prophet, Micah
tells us; “Do not trust in
a friend, Do not put your
confidence in a compan-
ion” (Micah 7:5) “I will
wait for the God of my
salvation; My God shall
hear me” (Micah 7:7)
Micah says we are
to trust in the Lord and
not in things or people
of this world. President
Reagan had a famous
saying, “trust but veri-
fy” I think that is a good
reminder for us. We see
and hear so many things
each day which are pro-
fessed to be the truth,
but are they? How can
we know? Only by call-
ing upon God in His wis-

Word to trust and hang
on to.
(Psalm 32:10) sums it
up very well; Many, are
the sorrows of the wick-
ed; but steadfast love
surrounds the one who
trusts in the Lord.”
If you do not know the
joy of living in the Lord
Jesus, open your heart
and accept him today, al-
low the Holy Spirit to fill
your soul with the untold
joy of knowing the Lord.
Ask him to forgive you
and cleanse your heart of
all sin and he will.
May God bless you
and keep you and make
His face to shine upon
you this day.

We will experience
difficulties; we will most
certainly have illnesses
and pains, that is a part
of life, a part of our test-
ing, of our purifying, by
our difficulties we are
made pure and ready for
God’s presence.
Jesus told us about
trusting anything “of
this world “ when He
said; “Heaven and earth
will pass away, but My
words will not pass
away.” (Matthew 24:35)
Clearly, Christ is tell-
ing us not to trust or de-
pend upon the things of
this world, for in time,
all we will have will be
our knowledge of His

Can we ever have complete trust in anything of this earth?
have us to do.
We must be careful
to never feel that we
are wise or think that
we have all the answers
to life’s questions. “Do
not be wise in your own
eyes, fear the Lord and
turn away from evil.”
(Proverbs 3:7)
Any time we begin to
feel secure in our own
wisdom we are surely
destined to fall, for only
God has the wisdom to
direct our paths in the
proper direction each
day.
“It will be healing to
your flesh, and refresh-
ment to your bones.”
(Proverbs 3:8)
