Well, for me, that's the case. I know it and quote it frequently, but I've been meditating on it lately and thinking do I REALLY know it? Am I practicing it?

And as I was walking up to the shop this morning to buy our bread, I was mulling this over in my mind. Other verses, that say a similar thing, came to my mind too. And I realized that they are all talking about trust and faith.

In these two verses, the "leaning not on your own understanding", and the "acknowledging Him in all your ways", are both outworkings of the first part...."Trust in the Lord with all your heart." They are the "how-to's" of trusting in the Lord.

Anyhow, here are the other passages that came to me....

Psalm 37:1-7a
"Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him."

Proverbs 16:3
"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established."

Philippians 4:4-7
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

And the words of this old hymn came to me. This really sums it up...

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

I pray that you are encouraged by this as much as I am, and that you too will KNOW Proverbs 3:5-6.

(BTW, the Scripture verses are all from the New King James Version.)
