Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.Proverbs 3:5
The word ‘all’ packs a huge punch for three little letters, two of which are the same. It is a pronoun, an adverb or just a noun, but it refers to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing. When ‘all’ is done, there is nothing left. So……if we do indeed apply this spiritually, then it is the full extent of our heart with nothing left except a childlike faith all we need and ‘all’ is well.
And! If we are commanded to resist leaning on what we ourselves can learn, comprehend, process, understand and regurgitate, then the better choice is to put our dead weight onto that which has all knowledge and wisdom, our Good, Good Father!
Love,
