Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
A few weeks ago I was struggling - struggling hard - with some things that I just couldn't understand or make sense of. "Why?" seemed to be the frequent question I had for the Lord.
My struggle ended when I read this verse. God is worthy of all my trust, and I am to trust Him with all my heart. It doesn't say trust Him with all your understanding. It doesn't say trust Him when you get it all figured out. When I can't reconcile in my mind why things are happening I must reconcile them in my heart by trusting that God is working all things out for good (Romans 8:28). When we trust Him with all our heart He gives us a peace that passes our understanding (see Philippians 4:6-7).
