Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understand. -Proverbs 3:5. Have you seen this before? I have read it many times and I just didn't understand what it meant. I know have came to actually understand what God wants us to do. Not lean on ourselves or other people during times of trouble. Lean only on the Lord. I realized this means, don't start googling your problems or think about how you can avoid something or deal with it by doing something. That would be leaning on your own understanding. Trying to figure out how to deal with something is also leaning on your own understanding. Truly stop looking up things or hoping your friends or family will be able to fix the problem...only God can. Another way you can use this verse is with doubts. You keep questioning something about God, just tell yourself that you can't even lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 can also apply to the future. Something that happened to me yesterday, I was pouring suger into my yogurt cup (I was in France and the yogurt is amazing!) and I thought I can do this and it won't spill. I knew that God didn't want us to lean on ourselves but right when I thought that I could do it a huge clump fell out and all the suger spilled everywhere! I just sat there and laughed. If you have any stories feel free to share them! God bless.
