This verse gives me the blessed assurance that I can confidently believe in God to care for and sustain me in every situation of life.Trust means that I believe, and if I believe, it becomes easy to trust.

This proverb gets me through each day. Going thru a very difficult period in my life and rely on the Lord to direct my path.

Applying this verse to our daily life is so very important...We must get on our knees and pray anytime we feel like we are going to falter...Thank you Lord for all of your teachings...

It is funny how people think they can fool God, in some ways think they can make a deal with God, or his teaching only are for others and not themselves.Trust in the lord with all thy heart and lean not on your (or mine) understanding for he will direct thy paths. what a wonderful promise for one that truly knows Christ as their saviour. reach out for him today he wont let ypu down,and remember GOD HATES SIN.
