Your Father Will Guide You
My dear son,
I care about the thought you give to how you will spend this day. Make your plans and put what you have learned to use. As you do, leave room for me, your Father, in those decisions.
Even when your own thinking seems right, pause to listen to me. Some paths reach beyond what you can see from your experience alone. Asking me does not diminish your judgment. It means trusting the hand that guides you.
Whatever you encounter, depend on me with your whole heart. Before rushing to a conclusion, look for the honest and good way forward. Let us walk that way together. I will guide your steps along a straight path.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 3:5–6
WEB5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
A short reflection
Proverbs urges people to trust God and acknowledge him in every part of life rather than rely solely on their own understanding.
