Trusting in the Lord and not Leaning on our own Understanding, as well as A cknowledging His rights will guarantee D irection for our path of faith and service.
Solomon said, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). So often we think that we are wiser than God — that we know better what to do and where to go. But how could this be true? Solomon again stated, “For who knoweth what is good for man in this life” (Ecclesiastes 6:12).
Similarly Jeremiah said, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23).
David writes, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and He delighteth in his way” (Psalm 37:23).
