Read Proverbs 3:5-6.
Some of the greatest wisdom is found in these verses. And some of the greatest understanding comes out of reflecting upon the question: How am I to trust God in the midst of uncertainty? How am I to completely and fully depend, not upon myself, but on the provision, the peace, and the protection of God?    

How might you acknowledge God today so that the path of God might be clear for you in the days ahead?

    I think the best way for me to acknowledge God today is to pause and pray whenever I feel an anxious thought slip into my head, to continually put my trust in Him with all my heart. I can also take time to reflect on all of the positive things during this season, acknowledging how He is always working in my life.

    I think God is trying to remind me - and us - that we need to stop trying to do it all out of our own strength. We need to trust in Him, not in ourselves.

    I also feel like He is trying to tell me that "comfort" is not His highest truth for me. We are called to have peace in the midst of the storm, peace in spite of circumstances. He's not going to remove all the hard stuff because then I get complacent and I forget who's in charge.

    In these times when the most tempting thing to do is "cocoon"...I need to remember to ask Him what He wants me to do today.

    We often hear the phrase just "Trust in God," but this passage follows "with your whole heart." I also can't depend on my own understanding. It takes trusting God to a much deeper level.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read John 4:5-26.  The story of the Samaritan woman reminds me that everything in this life will eventually leave us to thirst again. The things of this life come and go. But in Jesus, our thirst is forever quenched. In Jesus, everything we need is provided. In Jesus, our lives are complete and whole. So why seek anything else? Why drink from the well of this world and be thirsty again? Come to Jesus and never thirst again.
