Proverbs 3:5-7 New International Version (NIV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.

What does really it means to trust in the Lord with all your heart?

To trust in the Lord means more than believing in who he is and what he says; the word here for trust can also mean “to have confidence in.” Having confidence in something or someone means having assurance that it will take to action. Trusting God is simply our faith that will lead us to boldly serve God more than others. All of our knowledge, wisdom, and will should be saturated in the action-producing assurance of the Lord.

To trust in the Lord is to acknowledge God in everything we do and whatever we do in our life. Acknowledging God means knowing God wherever we are and whatever we are doing. This doesn’t just mean intellectual assent, but an act of perceiving his character and will in every moment of life. God is so different from the world’s norm because he always carries out the promises he has given. He is a faithful God, who can be trusted to fulfill all that he has said in his word. God is indeed a God of his word—faithful to fulfill all of his promises, so that we can truly put our trust and confidence in the Lord.

To trust in the Lord means to Fear the Lord. Fear in the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Everything that we do and whatever we think, God is knows more than anyone. Trusting in the Lord is the only path to life, and nowhere is this seen more fully than in the life and work of Christ.

Psalm 9:10 New International Version (NIV)

Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
