Proverbs 3:5-6 Sunday School Lesson Outline
Today’s verses are pretty well-known but they are good ones.
Turn to Proverbs 3:5-6:
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight. NIV
We are to trust in the Lord with all our hearts.
What does that mean?
It means completely, in every way, in every situation, with everything we care about
Our kids, our fears, wants, dreams, health, decisions, actions
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!
There is nothing in our lives or hearts that we are not supposed to trust Jesus with.
What does it mean to lean not on your own understanding?
It means to put aside how you understand things.
It means to realize that you don’t have it all figured out, but God does.
It’s being wise enough to know that when we trust God we don’t have to even try to understand everything.
It is choosing to lean on His understanding of things instead of ours.
We only have to obey Him and trust He will work it and handle it, no matter what our “it” is.
Trusting the Lord with our whole heart is not easy.
