He broke faith with the LORD in that he did not keep the command
of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.
He did not seek guidance from the LORD.
I Chronicles 10: 13b-14a (ESV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
“Today…”
Trust…in the LORD
“With all your heart…”*
Trust…in the LORD
“In all your ways acknowledge Him…”
Trust…in the LORD
Depend on His guidance… He will make your paths straight…
“Lord, thank you for a new day to walk with You and to anticipate
Your guiding hand upon my life. May my love and dependence on
You only deepen this new day. Help me to trust and not worry,
which hardens my heart. Help me to center my thoughts on Your
word,with a deep reliance on You. May Your word speak to me
throughout this day, as I listen and respond with one goal…
to please Your heart!”
*“With all your heart…” indicates that trust goes beyond
intellectual assent, to a deep reliance on the Lord, a settled
confidence in His care, and His faithfulness to His Word.
