Funny, how that verse is still rattling around in my brain... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"... Also interesting, I continue to run into situations where I need to apply it.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", as I witness a woman crying out to God as she is told that her husband is likely not going to survive. This will be husband number three (and two young children) that she has buried. Each time she cries out in anguish, I add my prayer for comfort for her and her family, and protection for mine.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", as I witness people using - or abusing - positions of power or authority... or better yet, mere perceived power/authority. I add my prayers for discernment for them - and for me - and peace, and strength for those in their path. I also pray for strength and courage for those who may witness it to speak truth into the deception.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", as I witness Christians - especially those who pride themselves in their Christianity - acting anything but... I pray for opportunities to witness and hold mirrors, and for steadfastness of my feet along His path.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", as the stirring in my belly makes me aware of my mistrust for the person, or situation in front of me. I pray for clarity, and for understanding of the truth.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", as I witness the events surrounding the upcoming election. I pray for our country, and the people that make it up. May we choose well, and may we realize that we truly are 'one nation under God', whether we like to admit it or not.
