Trust with all your heart
Is it harder to trust God with big decisions or small ones?
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
Introduction
Proverbs was written to help people live wisely in ordinary life. In chapter 3, a father urges his child to hold on to trust in the Lord above his own cleverness.
Trusting with “all your heart” doesn’t mean switching off our minds. It means our understanding stops being the final word.
