“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
Life rarely unfolds the way we expect. Plans change, doors close, and sometimes we can find ourselves walking through seasons that feel uncertain, painful, or confusing. In those moments, trusting God can feel difficult.
Scripture tells us that trust is not based on our understanding -it’s based on God’s character. He sees what we cannot see. What feels like a detour to us may actually be part of His greater plan.
Think about Joseph in the book of Genesis. He was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and imprisoned unjustly. For years, His life was a series of setbacks. But God was working behind the scenes, and eventually Joseph was placed in a position where he could save many lives.
Joseph’s account reminds us that God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence.
Trusting God doesn’t mean everything will always make sense. It means believing that God is faithful even when life is unclear.
Trust grows when we keep walking with God, even when we cannot see the entire path.
