Biblical Truth: Goodness - Reflection

Proverbs 3:5-6 calls us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not to lean on our own understanding. This passage invites us into a profound relationship with God, one that invites us to surrender our notions of control and to embrace a sacred calling grounded in goodness.

Imagine a gardener tending to a young sapling. Each morning, as the sun rises, that gardener checks the soil, ensuring it is rich and moist. With patience, he nurtures the plant, knowing that its growth is not just about the immediate visible results but about a deeper, unseen foundation. In our daily lives, we are called to trust in God's goodness, just as that gardener trusts in the process of growth, even when the leaves haven't yet unfurled.

Our journey of spiritual growth often mirrors this nurturing. We may find ourselves at crossroads, uncertain about which path to take. Proverbs reminds us that when we acknowledge God in all our ways, He will make our paths straight. This is not just about guidance; it’s about aligning our daily choices with the divine fabric of goodness woven into creation.

When we trust in God, we discover purpose in the mundane. Each act of kindness, every moment of grace, becomes part of our sacred calling. So, as we step into our week, let us lean into that trust. Let us engage our hearts fully, knowing that every small act rooted in goodness contributes to the flourishing of God’s kingdom in our lives and in the world around us.
