March 1 ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
With all your heart you must trust the LORD and not your own judgment. Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.

Have you ever read the book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst? Alexander is a little boy with problems that go from bad to worse as his day progresses. There have been days when I felt exactly like Alexander, and you may have had one of those days, too. I’m pretty sure we all have them! But the key to overcoming these seemingly lousy days is to remember WHO clears the road for us!
See, the worst day in the world with God is better than any other day. And if we trust Him with all of our heart and move ourselves out of the way, He can operate. God can turn our worst day around in a heartbeat and make it great. I know – I’ve seen Him do it more than once – and very recently! But we have to get out of the way and trust Him to work. Sometimes the instinct is to take matters into our own hands. Rarely is this a good idea!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Let HIM lead you. The road may still be a little bumpy at times, but He will get you where you need to go far better than you could ever manage on your own.
