YouTube: Finding Stability in Change
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
What a comforting thought! If we feel threatened by change, it is because our own insights seem inadequate. This writer reminds us that there is greater wisdom at work, and we should place our full trust in it.
What does it mean to trust in the Lord with all your heart? This is a call for faith. But is it blind faith, or is it understanding faith? Blind faith is the hope that something good will emerge from the fog-shrouded path before us. Understanding faith is the substance of the greater good you desire, the assurance that the best and highest is now unfolding.
In all your ways acknowledge him. This means right now. As you contemplate any uncertainty in your life, bring the wisdom of the Lord into your thinking. You are a child of infinite wisdom, the very vessel through which this wisdom is given to the world. At this moment, the wisdom of God is making straight your path. Allow the peace of this truth to calm and empower you.
The stability you seek is the anchor of inner peace. Think of the wheel that spins on the axle that is stable. You want to move to that place that does not spin. From this unchanging center, you see things differently, from your center of power and peace. Here, the Lord becomes your guide and your refuge. You are not seeking an escape. You are seeking to bring the full strength of your being into play. As an expression of God, this means you surrender to the full power and guidance of the infinite wisdom that is expressing through you now.
Finding stability in change is a choice you make every moment. Release all fear, all uncertainty, all doubt and know your path is being made straight now.
