Our scripture today is Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV).
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.
While all proverbs have a lesson for us, this one is fairly specific in its guidance: Trust God! He has given us curiosity and intellect to help us understand creation and our relationship to it, but it doesn’t mean to just do whatever we think is right. We must remember our connection to God and the responsibility to use what He has given us well. We need to ask prayerfully and consider what we know about the Father, and then proceed according to His word.
Gracious God, You made all things for our good. Bless us to be the stewards You intend, sharing Your gifts and Your love with the world. Amen.
