The verse was stuck under my skin for a few days. Turning back to the familiar words, I sit staring at them and wondering what am I to glean from them in this moment.
It’s a verse we lean on when we are facing challenges or decisions. It’s a prayer we offer up when choices are hard to make, and uncertainties loom before us.
Yet this particular morning, when not in the midst of decision making, it was thought provoking.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, NASB)
We so desire our paths to be straight. No detours. No delays. We know it is God alone who can make straight paths.
The words begin to stand out.

I’m reading the verse slowly and pondering the way each piece is a counter argument against my natural way of functioning. Thanks for the invitation to join you in this slow reading of one beautiful truth.
