Solomon says: “Trust in the Lord”
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight.
Introduction: Reading God’s Word should bring change to our lives.
Commit to action .
James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. 
Do what it says !
I. “Trust in the Lord”
It is instruction for Christ followers on how to live daily .
The most obvious reason to not trust is: I do not know you .
We must know the Lord in order to trust him. 
II. “With all your heart”
Do you want all of him?
A. Run to win !
B. Have a strategy .
C. Remove distractions and temptations .
D. Make Him your number one priority .
III. “Lean not on your understanding”
Do not rely on on your own intelligence .
We need both a coach AND a game plan .
James 3:13 “Who is wise AND understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in humility that comes from wisdom.
God’s wisdom and understanding is about love and protection .
IV. “In all your ways acknowledge him”
In our journey, we need to respect Him enough to be aware of His presence and invite him in to everything we say and do.
Psalm 91:14-16 Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.
Conclusion:
Because He loves me…
.
Because He loves me…
.
