Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Lean Not on Your Own UnderstandingProverbs 3:5-6
No. 54
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust is releasing control and believing that God knows better than we do. Our human understanding is limited, but God sees the whole picture. When life does not make sense — when plans fall apart and the path is unclear — that is when trust matters most.

Reflect

Where are you leaning on your own understanding right now instead of submitting to God?

Prayer

Lord, I surrender my need to understand everything. I trust that You are good and that You are guiding my steps. Lead me. Amen.
