"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 (NIV).
Children have trusting hearts and Jesus said that unless we become like children, trust like children, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:1-3). He didn't say behave like a child, on the contrary, we are to give up the things of childhood (1 Corinthians 13:11). We are to mature spiritually, being made in Christ's perfect image. Today's verse is on having pure trust: accepting the Word as solid ground, being fearless when God asks you walk on water, tossing anxiety like a set of handcuffs into the deepest sea, and seeking Jesus as a vast treasure....and you've got the Map (Jeremiah 29:13). The paths He will make straight, once you unconditionally trust in Him, is the path into His arms. It is He who leads you down the path of righteousness (Psalm 23:3).
