SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 6/42

Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your hearts
and do not lean on your own understanding."

Our minds are a part of God's creative gifts in us.
He expects us to use them
for our spiritual and human development.

The Word says that we must "Trust...with all your hearts."
There is no other way to "Trust in the Lord"
except with "all your hearts."
It's in our hearts that we experience the Godly presence.
Therefore our heart experiences are different
from our everyday banal knowledge.
We truly experience God in our hearts.
It's the birth place of our emotions, inspirations,
and knowledge of God.

It is through our heart-warming experiences
that we can truly "trust in the Lord."
It is also through our "Joy in the Lord."
Trust means an active, continuing, reliance in the Godhead.

Many so-called Christians today
try to grasp God by banal observation
but lack the authority of the Word
and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, we must trust our own understanding
as we humanly grow in knowledge.
When there is a conflict between
our human understanding
and what the Word is saying to us,
then we must always trust the Word first,
and do it "with all your hearts."
