Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
"The Lord will make your paths straight" He will remove the stumbling blocks, keep you from tripping and falling.
"The Lord will make your paths straight" He will remove the stumbling blocks, keep you from tripping and falling. He will bring safely to your destination.
"The Lord will make your paths straight" He will remove the stumbling blocks, keep you from tripping and falling. He will bring safely to your destination. He will keep you from wandering off the path of righteousness.
To “acknowledge” God simply means that we know that God is there in every situation.
Trusting in the Lord means that we don't lean on our own understanding. To lean on one's sword, or shepherd's staff. The king who in public appearances would be seen leaning on his assistants.
"trust" is from "batakh“ "to cling to", "confide in", "set one's hope and confidence upon"
Daniel's Three Friends "Then Nebuchadnezzar said, 'Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.'" (Daniel 3:28)
Daniel's Three Friends • Trusting God was a habit, • They openly declared their trust in God. • They were willing to trust God even if it would not result in physical salvation. (Daniel 3:18)

Are we willing to place our trust in God to the extent that we will stand up for Him, even in the face of suffering and death?
We can trust in the "Voice", because we know from the reports of others, as well as from our own past experience, that He is trustworthy, and we can rely on Him to lead us out of this blinding storm.
