SWORD for Proverbs 3:5,6

S - Select the Verse

Proverbs 3:5-6

W - Watch the Context of the Text

Like many Solomon's Proverbs, this particular verse is part of his saying regarding the wisdom and path of searching for God


O - Observe the Word

Trust - come from the from the Hebrew word bytakh that literally means "leaning on support". The word often used to express false trust on items, or power but in this particular verse it was used for the opposite function - trusting the reliable source (God)

Heart - Heart is the full expression of the center of cognitive and affective part of us, in which means trusting the Lord took all that we have without any doubt.

Acknowledge - derived from the word yada that can be translated into - a full knowledge of God in which our trust and obedience lies.

Path Straight - the word actually means, smoothen or grinding. We can imagine a road that is filled with gravel and rough edges but then smoothen with the machine.

R - Reflect

When we trust the LORD and Acknowledge Him as the guide of our life, He will lead us and our walk of life even when its rough will be smooth for His assurance and guidance are with us. We need to fully comprehend Him even when life is very unpredictable. Allow Him to be God and experience His miracle in life the way we never thought.

D - Develop a New Way of Life

TRUST - I want to Trust God today, completely, knowing He is the true Guide of my life


Prayer
