Wisdom from God

By Annie

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

A couple of things come to mind when I read this verse:

First, when driving, regardless of the destination, I adjust my GPS navigation system to display a route from point A to point B. I mostly use it because the information it provides is real-time. It factors in traffic, alerts, and traffic accidents. If there are delays, it will notify me of a different route to take. I put a lot of trust in my GPS because it has "knowledge" of what's ahead, i.e., potential road blocks, construction, or closures.

Sometimes GPS is wrong, I admit. It gives me a route that, perhaps, was open minutes ago, but is slowed down now or closed, so the real-time navigation may not have up-to -the minute correct information. For the most part, it does.

The other thing is, whenever an appliance fails, an application fails, or a device stops working properly, or I get an error code on the display from trying to do something, one of the first things I do is Google the issue. Often, it points me to a forum like Reddit or a similar FAQs page. Sometimes, I'll Google the manual and look for solutions there. What I'm doing is going to the manufacturer's website or a reliable third-party source for answers. We tend to look for answers from outlets with knowledge of our issue. I look for hacks that could give me faster solutions. When we navigate life, we often look to our inner circles, or to other people who have gone through similar situations, like support groups, licensed therapists, and some people even turn to horoscopes or tarot cards, or other "spiritual" people who could give insight into the type of "energy" taking place. But the one person we selcome turn to is GOD. Wouldn't it make sense to turn to the creator Himself about issues we're facing? The God who made me and knows everything about me has all the answers to my problems. Sometimes I go a long way to get to God, when I know I have a direct, deep, and close connection to Him already. He's the ultimate power source.

This morning, the energy was attacking me almost immediately when I woke up, and I made the stupid mistake of opening up social media first - and just as easily as something interesting pops up on my feed, just like *that* it went away. Disappeared. God knew! He made it go away so that I could turn to Him -- something I should already know to do.

I'm grateful for these small daily reminders to TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL MY HEART AND NOT LEAN ON MY OWN UNDERSTANDING FOR HE WILL MAKE MY PATHS STRAIGHT.
