DAY 3 - TRUST

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV)

Trust and communication go hand-in-hand. One’s relationship with another is dependent upon the two – trust and communication - especially when life is difficult.  Well, our scripture comes from Proverbs – a book of wisdom – and we learn to trust in the Lord…lean not on your own understanding.

I believe we gain [each other’s] trust through communication and likewise, with God as well. If we are to continue growing in our faith as followers of Jesus Christ, then we must trust; we must communicate with Jesus daily. When we’re unsure of our paths, we must remember that our relationship with Jesus and others – ones built upon trust and communication – is what will be with us as we walk along the path.

IronMaker’s Daily Challenge:  Think of at least one relationship – whether with Jesus or with others – in which you can work on your communication.

Prayer: Lord Jesus of Nazareth, High Priest of Heaven, thank you for the gift of this new day. I rejoice as your Spirit is with and for us directing my path. Today, I am reminded to trust in You. Amen.
