Throughout the bible scripture is given for direction, reproof, and instruction. Below are a few examples that can be found of God's instruction to us, his children, for our good.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6) and John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me".
"Trust in the Lord". Do not place your trust in evil companions. (Proverbs 1:10), nor precious possessions (Proverbs 1:13), nor brute power (Proverbs 1:11, for they lead to heartache. Do not look on the wine for it is a mocker (Proverbs 23:29-35). Keep yourself far from the harlot (Proverbs 5:3-11) for she will lead to death. Do not trust in these tangible objects, but believe in the invisible, but living God!
"With all of your heart" - Yield the decisions of your life to him. Give God all of your heart. Do not withhold any area of your life from the Lord.
"Lean not on your own understanding". Do not be arrogant for the Lord knows best. Listen to your mother and your father - the voice of experience. (Proverbs 1:8)
