LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING



Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
-Proverbs 3:5

Man’s understanding is limited. It is also warped. While evolutionists declare the possibility that man may ultimately reach perfection and will surpass all limitations, man is still man, the same bumbling creature crawling on this planet.

God truly created man in His image, but this image has been marred. Man may still reflect some godly qualities, but the image is now flawed. Yet God imbued man with a fascinating and amazing mind, powerful yet limited and distorted. There is no question that civilization’s progress has been attributed to man’s potential and capacity to use his knowledge. Modern thinking has elevated science as the new god which is believed will usher mankind to a new era of perfection. Man has been striving for this since the beginning, and yet, mankind has never been better off since the dawn of civilization.

God’s wisdom reminds us that all our efforts to only trust in ourselves can only go so far. God created man to worship, trust and obey his Creator. He should trust in the Lord with all his heart and rely upon the Lord for understanding, that he may be guided by the Mind of the Creator who designed him.
