 “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.” (Prov. 3:5-6 NIV)

The passage above tells us five things

1. Trust in the Lord – “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” (Psalm 28:7 ESV)

2. With all your heart – “"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” (Deut. 6:9 NIV)

3. Lean not on your own understanding – “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the LORD.”  (Isa. 55:8 NIV)

4. In all your ways submit to Him – “Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.”(1 Pet. 5:7 KJV)

When you do the things above, you will receive the following promise

5. And He will make your paths straight – “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.” (Isa. 48:17 ESV)
