Homestead Blog Hop 253

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

How’s your trust doing?

Lean not on your own understanding. That’s a hard one. We trust our own intuition, our own hunches, and our gut feelings. Sometimes we are right. We need to listen to the voice of conscience, because God speaks to us there. But so often, we just pay attention to what we want to do, and believe it must be God’s will.

I believe that we will be more successful at following the first part of this verse by adhering to the second part: in ALL your ways acknowledge Him. We can expect God to direct our paths when we admit that He’s the only One with the game plan, not us.

I want God to direct my path, how about you? Then it’s about time I begin in earnest to “lean not” on just what I can see. I want to see how God directs! It’s time for me to step aside.

Now on to the hop…

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
