Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6, New Revised Standard Version [NRSV])
I’m so glad that I’m meant to trust God and not my own insight. My own insight, whilst sometimes good, often leaves me at a loss. Of late, I’ve been thinking about a whole-hearted, Biblical view of justice and trying to seperate it from the view of justice that my culture teaches me is right. It’s hard. My insight is failing. It’s the same in my life – my insight often fails, when I thought it was spot on. But when it does fail, I am reminded to trust God, because He will make straight my paths and give me all I need.
And I live in faith that next week, He will make straight my path. I wait with anticipation…
