“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and unto your own understanding lean not. In all your ways know Him, for He is making straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5)
God can be trusted regardless of whether we trust Him or not. God will make our paths straight REGARDLESS of whether we allow Him or not. That is His plan. By reading the Bible, we can know what He is doing and will accomplish. We cannot change anything by our own stubborn refusal to believe Him. The only thing we can do is to decide to TRUST Him...or not. My decision to trust Him gave me Peace and Joy and Assurance that what He has started He will finish, which is making humanity into His image!
“And God saith, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…I give thanks to my God…having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform until the day of Jesus Christ” (Genesis 1:26; Philippians 1:3-6)
He is making my path straight! If not in this life, then when I am resurrected into an immortal new life.
"So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a SPIRITUAL body.” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)
I am glad it is HIS work and not mine.
