Trust or Lean? (Proverbs 3:5)

Man's understanding is contrary to God's way.  When facing a trial, difficult situation or even a decision to make, we will face two persuasions: God's way or ours.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

God wants and expects us to run to him for refuge and not to support ourselves with our reasoning or understanding.  Instead of leaning on our reasoning for support, he wants us to lean on him.

In this day of self help and positive thinking, we constantly face this proverbial fork in the road.  Today as you face life, what will your response be?  Will you support yourself or will you go to God for refuge?
