 Proverbs 3:5,23  5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 23Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble.


In the news five men enter into a submersible to go very deep into the ocean to get a glimpse of the sunken Titanic. Sadly the group lost contact and is feared dead. Many question why someone on earth would take such a risk, yet their desire to see something few have witnessed in person outweighed the potential for disaster. They were willing to risk it all for what they believed in. 


For the average person, you could say following after the wisdom of Jesus Christ is out right madness, and who'd want to sacrifice many of the pleasures this world has to offer. Yet, many devout Christians do just that. As a result they have peace in their hearts, joy in their soul and have confidence that God has a specific plan to grow and bless them, both here and one day in Heaven. It's something they truly believe in and see the evidence of God in their daily life. 


Are you willing to risk it all to truly follow Christ? Today's passage gives clear instructions on how to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.  By trusting Him, no matter what you feel or believe, He will lead you down a secure path, providing nuggets of blessings along the way, to encourage you to keep going when everyone else questions your intentions. God will take your faith to the highest peaks and lowest valleys just to ensure you are following without waiver. Trust Him today and He will keep your journey secure.
