Proverbs 3:5–6
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

LOOK CLOSER
This is not a command to stop thinking.
It is a warning not to make your own understanding the final authority.
The next line gives the positive move: acknowledge God in every part of life.
WHEN YOUR PLAN MAKES SENSE
You can have a spreadsheet, a backup plan, and a very convincing reason.
And still be heading the wrong way.
Trust means leaving room for God to correct the route — not just asking him to bless the route you already chose.
ONE SMALL STEP
Before one decision today, pause and ask: ‘Am I only asking God to approve my plan, or am I willing to be redirected?’
Then name the part of your life you usually keep outside his guidance.
REFLECT
Where do you find it hardest to let God redirect you?
