Lean not on your own understanding

Verse:
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)

Message of the day:
Problems at the workplace make people change jobs. A troublesome colleague, a dominating superior, a tyrannizing boss, and many such could be the reason for quitting a job. We might even plan to switch jobs, hopping from one company to the other expecting a hike in pay. We even change careers for monetary reasons or for satisfaction. Even if we make mistakes in doing these, we can live with the consequences that they bring and they are to a certain extent repairable & reversible. But there are many life issues which can neither be repaired nor reversed. Just depending on our own understanding limits our perspectives to life. People end up having broken marriages & unpleasant family life because of limiting the decision making to them.
We need to start trusting God for everything of our life. We should trust God for our education, career, job, marriage, children, future, etc. When we trust God for all this, He deepens our insights and expands our foresight in a way we would not have imagined. He also adds a new perspective to our life and to the very situation we may be in. Added to this, He will also bring wonderful peoples in our lives who will help us to aspire for better things and would show us God’s beautiful plans for our lives. Trusting God also helps us to look beyond ourselves - our abilities and our weaknesses.
Trust God and commit every single activity of your life to God. He will make it plain and smooth.

Prayer:
Father, all these days of my life, I had just been depended on my understanding to plan every area of my life. Right now, I commit myself into Your hands. I also commit all my dreams, desires and aspirations to You. I had messed up so much in life, but now I know that You can make all the crooked things straight and beautiful. Trusting You for life, In Jesus name, Amen.
