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 ).
