5- TRUST IN THE LORD COMPLETELY

Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."

Seven Ways to Reduce Failures This Week:
1- PUT GOD FIRST 
Prioritize God in all decisions.

2- PRAY DAILY 
Maintain consistent communication with God.

3- WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT 
Trust God’s promises over visible circumstances.

4- READ THE BIBLE DAILY 
Make Scripture a habit for spiritual growth and obedience.

5- TRUST IN THE LORD COMPLETELY 
Proverbs 3:5 emphasizes trusting God’s perfect wisdom over limited human understanding. The "heart" represents your will, mind, and emotions—trust God fully, making Him the foundation of your life.

Jesus’ Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27) teaches that a life built on His teachings is secure, like a house on a solid foundation, while ignoring His words leads to instability, like a house on sand.

By doing so, believers are promised that God will direct their paths, making them straight and aligning them with His good and perfect will.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

God’s purpose

1 Kings 19:17&18 "17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." God shows Elijah his true impact and future plan. He commands Elijah to leave hiding and anoint three figures: Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha. These appointments signal judgment and renewal, as Hazael and Jehu will help overthrow the Omride dynasty, including Ahab and Jezebel. God provides not just succession but a plan to purge Baal worship. His work persists through new agents beyond Elijah. The passage stresses that God’s purpose depends on no single person; Elijah is not alone—7,000 in Israel remain faithful to God, unbowed to Baal. This remnant upholds God’s covenant amid apostasy. Elijah’s story teaches: our isolation and despair are illusions. Focus on God’s greater,...
