You have to grow in your understanding and common sense, but at the same time remain humble to trust God. Growing brings the temptation that you may go on in your life by yourself ignoring God. No matter how much you grow, you will always remain like a child compared with God’s understanding, love and power. It is foolish to think that you can ignore God and have a good life on your own.
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this.
(Prov.3:5-12 MSG)
Prayer: I trust You from the bottom of my heart. Sorry for trying to do things on my own. Make me humble to be able to listen to your voice in everything I do, everywhere I go. Help me to honor You in everything I do. Help me to endure your discipline specially when I cannot understand it yet, knowing that You are a loving father that will do the best for his child.
