Resting In God’s Wisdom
Resting In God’s Wisdom March 16, 2025
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)
Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed, trying to make sense of life’s complexities, feeling the weight of decisions, problems, or even your own thoughts? In today’s fast-paced world, we often strive to have all the answers, to figure things out on our own. But the truth is, we were never meant to carry such a burden. Just as the brain, with all its billions of neurons, is far beyond our ability to fully comprehend, so too is life itself. The Creator, in His infinite wisdom, designed both to be complex, knowing that we would need to rely on Him.
God’s invitation is clear: we are not to lean on our own understanding. The pressure to know everything, to manage every detail of our lives, is not something He ever intended for us to bear. And this is where the love of Christ comes in. Jesus, fully aware of our limitations, came to help carry our burdens. He invites us to find rest in Him. When we find ourselves anxious or confused, it is a sign to step back and trust in God’s higher wisdom through Christ. We may not have all the answers, but we have the assurance that God does – and Jesus is with us every step of the way. We don’t have to figure everything out because Christ is already holding everything together for us.
Today, reflect on an area of your life where you’ve been trying to carry the weight of understanding on your own. What would it look like to release that to Christ? Spend a moment in prayer, asking for the strength to let go and trust in His plan.

Politics
One lesson that we Christians have not learned in the last 2000 years is that Jesus had no political control over the Roman Empire, yet He still changed the entire world. We keep trying to change the world the way the Roman Empire did instead of the way Jesus did. (Benjamin Cremer)
