How so?
God gives us spiritual insight and wisdom, we wouldn’t ordinarily have, without the Holy Spirit to guide us. God’s Word gives us wisdom, and as we study it, our mind is renewed (Romans 12:2), so we no longer just think the way the world thinks – we can think the way God thinks. God said it’s not really wise to lean to our own understanding at times, because we can really goof things up without his guidance. Being He can see into our future, his counsel is very desired, as he knows what is best for us.
As we spend time reading and meditating on Scripture, we develop a strong spirit. Then we can hear God speaking to our heart and make decisions based upon what He’s leading us to do, not just what we think, feel or want.
When you go beyond what you want, what you think and what you feel, and do what the Word and the Spirit of God tell you to do, you are able to develop good habits and break bad ones. You come to a place where the blessings of God – His righteousness, peace and joy – overflow in your life.
Life is simple and peaceful when we come to God and say, “God, I want to trust You. When I don’t know what to do, I’ll trust You. When I don’t understand why, I’ll trust You. I’ll do my part with Your help, and when I’m done, I’ll trust You to do the rest.” You really cannot go wrong, trusting Jesus. I’ve done it for 45 years, and He’s never let me down.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
