Trust from the Heart

Trust from the Heart Proverbs 3:5–6 Excerpt 3:5-6 .  To  trust in the  Lord  wholeheartedly means one should  not rely ( lean )  on  his  understanding,  for human insights are never enough. God’s ways are incomprehensible ( Isa.  55:8-9 ;  Rom. 11:33-34 ); yet He is trustworthy. All the wisdom a person may acquire can never replace the need for full trust in God’s superior ways.  Heart  in Hebrew refers to one’s emotions ( Prov.  12:25 ;  13:12 ;  14:10 ,  13 ) but more often to his intellect (such as understanding,  10:8 ; discernment,  15:14 ; reflection,  15:28 ), or will ( 5:12 ).  More Buzzell, Sid S. “ Proverbs .”   The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures .

Trust from the Heart Proverbs 3:5–6 3:5–6 . To trust in the LORD wholeheartedly means one should not rely (lean) on his understanding, for human insights are never enough.

Heart in Hebrew refers to one’s emotions ( Prov. 12:25 ; 13:12 ; 14:10 , 13 ) but more often to his intellect (such as understanding, 10:8 ; discernment, 15:14 ; reflection, 15:28 ), or will ( 5:12 ). As a person trusts in the Lord and acknowledges Him (this is not a nod of recognition but an intimate knowledge of God) in all his ways (cf. all your heart, 3:5 ), he finds that God makes his paths straight.
