Proverbs 3:5-8 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)
“5Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
6in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
7Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8This will bring healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones.”
Trust in The Lord
To put our trust in the Lord is to believe in Him, by biblical faith in Him, to put our conviction and our confidence in Him, in who He is and in what He did for us via his death and resurrection, in putting our sins to death with Him in order that we might, by faith in Him, deny self, die to sin, and obey God in practice, in His power at work within us who are His. It is to take Him at His word and to do what He says we ought to do as His followers.
With all your heart! And our hearts include our minds, souls, spirits, and emotions. Our hearts are the center of our being, our core, the essence of who we are and think and do in mind and will and character. So if we trust in the Lord with all our heart, we are giving it all to God, nothing held back. We trust God with our circumstances, with our provisions, with our trials and tribulations, and to guide and direct us where He wants us day by day.
We Can’t Figure it Out
Lean not on your own understanding. We can’t “figure it out” ourselves when it comes to matters of the heart and faith and obedience to our Lord. For our salvation comes from God, and He is the one who gifts us with the faith needed for salvation. And He is the one who directs our paths and leads us in the ways of righteousness. And He is our deliverer from sin when we repent of (turn from) our sins who empowers us to obey, if we will let Him.
In All your ways acknowledge Him. And this is not a casual nod agreeing that God exists and that Jesus gave His life up for us on that cross. This is to believe in Him, to submit to Him and to His truth, to forsake our lives of sin, and to follow Him in obedience to His commands. It is to live like He is our Lord (Master), and to walk in His ways, and to do the things He says we are to do, as His followers. And He will lead us in the ways of righteousness.
Fear The Lord
And if we are not wise in our own eyes, then we are not relying on our own strength and wisdom and discernment to guide the path in which we go. We are following the leading of the Lord and His counsel and wisdom each step of the way, day by day. We don’t make all our own choices and decisions about life, but we trust in the counsel of the Lord to give us guidance and direction and wisdom. So we honor God and we turn away from evil.
When we do life our way, following our own thinking and reasoning, we might go down the wrong path, in the wrong direction, leading us where we ought not to go. But when we fear (honor, respect, obey) our Lord, He leads us away from evil and on the paths of righteousness. And there we find peace for the soul in knowing that we are on the right track, going the right direction, and that our Lord is with us and He will not abandon us.

Tenderly He speaks, softly so.
Gently He calls - His will to know.
Won’t you invite Him in your heart?
Humbly accept Him now.
Bow before Him with contrite heart.
May you obey His will.
Seek Him with all your heart and soul,
And your heart, His Spirit fill.
Jesus died to free you from sin,
Giving you new life to begin,
Walking with Him ev’ry hour,
Obeying His commands.
Won’t you trust Him to be your Lord?
His grace you can’t afford.
Freely He gives you peace within,
When you turn from all your sin.
Live for Him ev’ry passing day.
Meet with Him; read His word and pray.
Serve Him in the way He leads you,
Doing all that He says.
Do unto others as you would
Have them do unto you.
Love them with Jesus love within you.
Your hearts to God be true.
