Our Understanding Isn’t Full Proof, Do You Trust Your Thoughts?

The word for today says lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. That’s a pretty tall order from the Lord to us, it would seem. If He’s saying it, we have the where with all to do it, with His help. The first step in acknowledging God in all of our ways, is to understand His word, how He operates so we can get on board with the program. After obtaining the knowledge to renew our minds, to reprogram our behavior and thought patterns, (the Lord must be involved) we will trust the Lord more easily. How can you trust someone you don’t really know well, I wouldn’t. Get to know the Lord for yourself, not by what your grandma told you about Him. It’s a personal relationship we must have, and once we’ve walked through the door of salvation, it’s time to renew our minds with the word of God. Getting into a habit of acknowledging the Lord and keeping Him involved with everything we do in life, before we do it. Bring every thought into subjection to God’s word once it enters your mind (2 Corinthians 10:5). If that thought doesn’t agree with love’s way, and our right standing with God, or the peace of God you’ve discovered, reject it, and don’t allow that bad thought to express itself through your behavior. Our own understanding can be shaky at times, not full proof. The standard of God’s word working in the faith believing Christian has a stability in the Lord that keeps our hearts and minds stable in Christ.
