Proverbs: Day 3

Proverbs 3

Self-dependence. From the worlds perspective, this is an admirable trait. However, looking through biblical lenses, we recognize that we are dependent beings. We know that sin has corrupted every part of us. We cannot even trust our own hearts desires (Jer. 17:9). Wisdom is demonstrated in recognizing this by trusting in God alone. The fool neglects this reality by pursuing self-dependence.

Prov. 3:5-6 says;
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
