Likely a memory scripture, Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding. It relates closely to what we read in Matthew 6. It is about God-reliance instead of self-reliance. We all had a starting point in our walk with God – to learn how to look at things not based 0n our past habits, perceptions, and biases but to begin to look at and do things like God. As it relates to the video that we just watched, we had to begin to unlearn how we lived our past life and to learn how to live a new life . . . to turn Right when every fiber of our being said turn Left and to turn Left when every fiber of our being said turn Right. We began a total transformation, one that takes time – and practice – and lots of getting up after a fall . . . and getting on with it. Seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and trusting in the Lord with all our heart are not easy feats. In the time remaining we will discuss why and what our responsibility is in this quest.
