proverbs 3:5-6

ok, i believe crisis in our lives causes certain scriptures to take on stronger, more personal meanings. what i mean is, when your circumstances match up with a scripture passage you've read or heard, it takes on a whole new meaning in a bright new light. for instance, in my life right now, i've got a huge decision to make that will permanently determine the course and direction of my life. i've been going back and forth examining all the minor details of the options and scrutinizing the value of them both. so, recently the verse entered my mind that i memorized when i was a kid, "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths (proverbs 3:5-6)." truthfully, it was pretty convicting, but at the same time it was a breath of fresh air. if i trust God...with ALL my heart, He will direct my steps. i don't think that means i need to sit on my bedroom floor with my legs crossed, humming and waiting for God to talk to me. but, i should investigate the options He's placed in front of me, and ultimatley realize that He make the final call and decision on the matter.
