Devotion:
Read Proverbs 3:5-6.
The book of Proverbs is great for the world of social media. Whether you are texting, posting something to Facebook or a Tweet, most of the verses in this book are just the right size. I used to say they were good for bumper stickers and wall hangings, but that now seems outdated. Most of the Proverbs came from life experience and God inspired writers to record those experiences so that we all could learn from them.
These verses are my two favorites. Trusting in the Lord is the essence of what we mean by having faith. There have been many times in my life when I have prayed “I do not understand why that happened, but I still trust in you.” And when we look to God for guidance in all aspects of our life, we can be assured that we will receive what we need.
In the Bible translation known as The Message, Eugene Peterson stated these verses this way: “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.”
Personal Worship Option:
What is your favorite Proverb? If you don’t know, I invite you to read through the book and pick out your favorite. There are thirty-one chapters, so you can read one chapter a day and complete it in a month.
