Proverbs 3:5-8 “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.  Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.  Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.  Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”

How to Get Strong:

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; Do not depend on your own understanding.”

The Problem: We run from fire.

Proverbs 3:5  “Do not depend on your own understanding.” 

• Following our own solutions with only get us lost.

The Hack: We let God walk us through the fire.

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.”

• 100% of our strength 100% comes from God by being 100% all in.
• God strengthens us through fire and we must learn to trust Him.

Proverbs 3:6  “Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

The Problem: The path and destination become our focus.

• When the path becomes our focus, our potential is capped between the curbs.

The Hack: The will of God becomes our focus.

Proverbs 3:7  “Do not be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” 

The Problem: A self-motivated life leads to self-serving decisions.

The Hack: A God-motivated life leads to world-changing decisions.

Proverbs 3:8 “Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”

‘By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than We would ever dare to ask or hope.”Ephesians 3:20

In the great prayer which Paul had just written, he had apparently reached the highest

expression possible of the life to which God’s mighty power could bring the believer.  But

Paul is not content.  In this doxology he rises still higher and lifts us up to give glory to God

as “able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.”  Pause for

a moment to consider what ‘infinitely more’ means.

Think of the words, “he has given us all of his rich and wonderful promises”

(2 Peter 1:4). Think of “the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him.”  This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead: (Ephesians 1:19-20).  With these words Paul hopes to lift our hearts to believe that God is able to do ‘infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.’  The power of God that works in us is nothing less than the exceeding power that raised Christ from the dead.  This should cause us to think that there is something that God will do in us that is beyond all our imagination.

As we worship Him in prayer, let us believe that the Almighty God, who is working in our hearts, is able and willing to fulfill every one of His exceeding great and precious promises.
