“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not
on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5
Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed, trying to
make sense of life’s complexities, feeling the weight of
decisions, problems, or even your own thoughts? In
today’s fast-paced world, we often strive to have all the
answers, to figure things out on our own. But the truth
is, we were never meant to carry such a burden. Just as
our brain, with all its billions of neurons, is far beyond
our ability to fully comprehend, so too is life itself. The
Creator, in His infinite wisdom, designed both to be
complex, knowing that we would need to rely on Him.
God’s invitation is clear: we are not to lean on our own
understanding. The pressure to know everything, to
manage every detail of our lives, is not something He
ever intended for us to bear. And this is where the love
of Christ comes in. Jesus, fully aware of our limitations,
came to help carry our burdens. He invites us to find
rest in Him. When we find ourselves anxious or
confused, it is a sign to step back and trust in God’s
higher wisdom through Christ. We may not have all the
answers, but we have the assurance that God does and
Jesus is with us every step of the way. We don’t have to
figure everything out because Christ is already holding
everything together for us. Today, reflect on an area of your
life where you’ve been trying to carry the weight of understanding
on your own. What would it look like to release that to Christ?
Spend a moment in prayer, asking for the strength to let go
and trust in His plan.
