It’s been a hot minute since I posted my scripture of the week! 📖 This is one of the first verses I learned as a kiddo. I memorized the words for a grade in elementary school and can still recite it on command, but it wasn’t until more recent years that I really *knew* the scripture. So many times I try to “understand” why certain life events happen and I try to connect the dots like I’m Nancy Drew. But at the heart of this scripture is the fact that our understanding at any given time is so limited compared to God’s complete plan. He sees the good and the bad, the mystery and the obvious as a whole, all woven into a pattern for good. He’s not asking us to try and figure it out first and then trust Him when we can’t solve the puzzle. He’s telling us to trust Him with ALL our heart; leave absolutely no room for “understanding” (which takes us down rabbit holes of assumptions, speculations, untruths and doubts until we’ve dug ourselves miles away from the path He’s laid out for us). If we acknowledge that He is sovereign in every aspect of our life, we will more fully trust His plan and His directions, and He will only ever direct you down His good and perfectly straight path. #LTKGiftGuide
