Scripture Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) – “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.”
In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to get caught up in our own plans and agendas. We often rely on our own understanding to navigate through the complexities of life. But God calls us to a different way of living – a life of listening with faith and trusting in His guidance.
The book of Proverbs reminds us of the importance of trusting in the Lord with all our hearts. It urges us not to lean on our own understanding but to submit to God in all our ways. This is the essence of listening with faith – surrendering our own will and trusting in God’s perfect plan for our lives.
When we listen with faith, we open ourselves up to God’s guidance and direction. We acknowledge that His wisdom surpasses our own and that His ways are higher than ours. It’s a posture of humility and trust, knowing that God sees the bigger picture even when we can’t.
