Scripture for This Morning
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5–6 (NLT)
Devotional Thought
Monday brings responsibility back into view. Decisions, deadlines, expectations. God does not ask you to carry them alone.
Trust is the posture that shapes the week. Dependence on God is not weakness. It is wisdom.
A man who begins Monday trusting the Lord refuses self-reliance. He submits his plans, pace, and priorities to God. He walks forward attentive to God’s direction, not driven by pressure.
Start the week leaning on God, not on yourself.
Questions to Consider
- Where am I tempted to rely on my own understanding this week?
- What decisions do I need to place fully under God’s authority?
- How can I intentionally seek God’s will before acting today?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I trust You with this week. Help me rely on You instead of my own understanding. Guide my steps and align my decisions with Your will. Lead me in obedience and faith today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Encouragement for This Morning
God goes before you into this week. As you trust Him, He will steady your path.
