2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Hello, thank you for listening to your Daily Bible Verse,

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: the podcast that examines one verse each day to learn

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: more about God and his will for us. I'm your host,

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: Jennifer Doetzler, and after the short word from our sponsor,

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: will dive into today's Bible verse, Proverbs three five through six.

7
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Proverbs three five through six says trust in the Lord

8
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding.

9
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: Seek His will and all you do, and He will

10
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: show you which paths to take. Looking at the very

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: beginning of this passage, we see the word trust. The

12
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: verse start so with trust in the Lord with all

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: your heart. The Hebrew word for trust is batock. This

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: word buttock means to lean on. It means to feel safe,

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: to be bold and secure, laying full weight down on

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: something solid, like resting safely in a secure place. It's

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: not just hoping that God comes through. It's a complete

18
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: and total surrender. And when we think of a surrendered life,

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: that means that our life is connected to our source,

20
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: to God as our refuged We're connected to God as

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: our safe place. It requires a real relationship and a

22
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: real connection to the Lord. Maybe today you've been feeling

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: like you're trying to carry the weight of the entire

24
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: world on your shoulders, or maybe you've been tired and

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: growing weary of trying to do it all. If you're

26
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: finding yourself in a situation where you're trying to control

27
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: the outcome because you're afraid to let go, this verse

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: is for you. Proverbs reminds us that real freedom comes

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: when we trust God with every detail of our lives,

30
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: every detail.

31
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: Of our story.

32
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: When we look at our lives, we find that when

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: we try to run the show, when we try to

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: control every detail, we get exhausted. We get anxious, fearful,

35
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: even and sometimes we mask our fear as responsibility, but

36
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: we end up somewhere where we were never meant to be.

37
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Even when our culture tells us the whole tight.

38
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: And to make sure we make things happen, God rejects

39
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: that idea altogether and says, follow me and trust me.

40
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: We know. Scripture says that God's yoke is easy and

41
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: his burden is light.

42
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: He invites us to.

43
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: Hand over our plans, to hand over our fears and anxieties,

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: to hand over our future to him, I trusting that

45
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: wherever he leads us, he will take care of every

46
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: single detail. This verse is the definition of what it

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: means to be fully and totally surrendered, to have complete trust.

48
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: In the Lord.

49
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: As we live a life where we trust God with

50
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: all our hearts, leaning not on our own understanding, leaning

51
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: not on what other people say or think, not leaning

52
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: on or trusting in our own schedule or strategies or structures,

53
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: but leaning on what the Lord says, what he says

54
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: in his Holy spirit inspired word, what He has done

55
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: in our lives. And as we seek his will and

56
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: all we do, he will show us what path to take.

57
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: And as we live in this way, we're living different

58
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: from the world. I love the way the Message version

59
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: of Proverbs three five through six says it. It says,

60
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: trust God from the bottom of your heart. Don't try

61
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's

62
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: voice and everything you do everywhere you go. He's the

63
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: one who will keep you on track.

64
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God,

65
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: run from evil. Your body will.

66
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life.

67
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 2: Honor God with everything you own, give him the first

68
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: and the best. Your bards will burst, your winevats will

69
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: brim over. But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline, don't

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: sulk under his loving correction. It's the child he loves

71
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: that God corrects. A father's delight is behind all this.

72
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: The story of a surrendered life is a result of

73
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: placing our full trust in the Lord. It's a result

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: and reward of trusting God as our source, our rock,

75
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: our refuge, instead of leaning on our own limited understanding.

76
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: If you've been feeling like you're trying to carry the

77
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: way of the world today, if you're constantly trying to

78
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: control the outcome, this truth is for you. True freedom

79
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: comes when we reject the urge to figure it all out,

80
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: when we step back and we hand over our plans,

81
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: our worries, our future to the one who clears the

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: path and keeps us on track. And as we do this,

83
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: as we live a life where we trust God with

84
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: all of our hearts, not leaning on our own understanding,

85
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: but in all our ways, seeking His will in everything

86
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: that we do, he will show us the path to take.

87
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: This allows us to experience God's peace, his presence, his direction, perspective,

88
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and ultimately God's purpose for our lives.

89
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me today on your

90
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: daily Bible verse.

91
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: I hope this gives you a little extra freedom to

92
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: let go and trust in God today.

93
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Let's pray Heavenly Father.

94
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: I just think you you, that you allow us to

95
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: trust in you, that you see every detail of our lives,

96
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: every worry, every concern, you know, and you see it

97
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: all and you allow us to hand it over to

98
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: surrender it to You.

99
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: Lord.

100
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: So God, I pray for right now, for every listener,

101
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: that they would be able to surrender whatever they're curing

102
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: to you, and that they would experience your peace that

103
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: only comes from you, Lord, that they would experience the

104
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: purpose and plans that you have for them as they

105
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: trust in you. We pray that you would have your

106
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: way today in our hearts and in our lives in

107
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: Jesus name.

108
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,600
