Watching a new season awaken this week reminds me how the storms of Winter are wiped away through God’s creation of Spring. Over and over, God sent Proverbs 3:5-7 to me. Last Tuesday, THREE of my daily devotions centered in this Scripture. That was an impossible co-incidence but an unquestionable God incidence. “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.”
After my trifold revelation, deep inner peace settled in my heart and soul. All that might have been moments of fear and frustration, instead, were wrapped in trust. My hands, heart and soul were not carrying the weight of the world. There was no need; for God is carrying me, and nothing is beyond His strength. The promise of His words never disappears.
“He will make your path straight”. It does not say my path will automatically be straight, even before it comes my way. It does proclaim no matter how twisting, uphill or downhill my path is, my God will straighten out the snarls. No greater Hope this day can I share with you.
As the seeds of Spring begin to sprout in our world, may Proverbs 3:5-7 be rooted in our souls. Herein will flower the Faith and Hope needed to withstand the thunder of storms, while also surrounding us in the beauty of God’s protection, guidance and Love. May this Scripture truth hug you day and night, rain and shine.
