"Trust in God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Introduction
If you choose to follow Jesus Christ, then your body, your soul and your mind belong to Him. When you have a Father in your heart that you believe, you get the right faith. And you don't decide anymore about your life, God will decide in your place to give you what is good for you. When I see many people who don't have God around, and complain about many problems they got in their life, I really feel safe and blessed that I have Jesus Christ to solve all the problem I got.
Trust in God with all your heart
'Trust in God with all your heart...' 'all' means full fidelity, not half trust but totally full. Only God is deserving that king of trust. He always keep his words. There is no lying in God's mouth. In Genesis 1 and 2, when Father says something He did it after. Just recheck that chapter in Genesis. And you see that Father that we believe is really a trustful God.
However, don't trust human. You love your friends but never trust him or her, don't trust your family. In Jeremiah 9:4, 'Be ware of your neighbors, and don't trust any of your relatives.' Here Father remains us to be careful. Here is another proof that we as Christian don't trust our friends: 'Don't trust your friends, don't confide in a companion,...' Micah 7:5
Don't trust to your wealth, it cannot save you in hard time. Rich person trust always to their money... That is not a way to follow Father. In Proverb 11:28, 'The person who trusts in his wealth will fall,...' There is nothing behind a wealth...
Forget also to trust your self... Anyone who was in school and has diploma university normally think that his knowledge can save his soul in difficult time, but that is totally against God's way. We can see it in Proverbs 28:26 that 'Whoever trusts in himself is foolish,...'
Some people also who declare that they are Christians trust in idols. Many fake Christians live secretly in secret society or they follow another king of religion of Satan. And Isaiah 42:17 said 'Those who trust in carved idols will turn back and be completely disappointed, along with those who say to metal images, 'You are our gods.''
Don't either trust to your beauty... Ezekiel 16:15 said 'But you trusted in your beauty. You did what whores do, as a result of your fame....' Beauty is just like wind in our life. There is nothing behind our beauty. Beauty can be our face, our body or part of our body...
To close this part, in Bible, we see now that only Father can be trusted.
In all your Ways Submit God
'...; in all your ways submit God,...' The meaning is we inform Father all things we want to do, all plan we think to realize also. It is a form of prayer to go directly to Father in the Name of Jesus Christ to tell God that we plan to do something. Sometimes, it can be something we do next year, or after a few minutes or next month; but we must inform Father about that. That is his order to us. We must inform Father in the Name of Jesus Christ to get a very good result in our plan, in Psalm 55:22 : 'Cast on God whatever he sends your way, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.' 'Ways' are all actions you plan to do. And it must be only the good one: good for you and for the others. You don't pray to God to ask something bad and forbidden in 10 Commandments.
Don't lean on your own understanding
'...don't lean on your own understanding.' It is still an advice to inform us that God is not allow us to trust our self. That advice is specially for anyone who is intelligent, genius or finishing high degree of university: an elite person in our society. Generally, when we finish with very good marks our school, we always think that we understand every thing and we have a huge knowledge. That is the fact. But here, our Father forbids us to trust our knowledge.
And he will make your paths straight
'... and he will make your paths straight.' The Psalm 138:7 can explain that verse. 'Though I walk straight into trouble, you preserve my life, stretching out your hand to fight the vehemence of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.' If we trust in God, our life will be much better. And if we get in trouble and we trust our Father, then Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh will help us to solve our problem easily one by one... When I have problem in my life, I 'talk' to Father about it and, He will come to give me solution that is good for me. Then, I easily accept that answer from our Father because I know that He is always good to me. I know that He never gives me something is not good for me, because I trust totally Him.
Conclusion
To trust in God is totally different than trust a friend. Friend can easily betray us. The reason of that is human nature. We are born in our sin. That's why God warns us here that don't give your trust to your friend. However, trusting Father is must be our daily target. Father is very trustful. His nature is never changing. He is not a lying.
