Proverbs 16:20

A wise man distrusts his motives and doubts his abilities, so he depends on God’s blessing more than his own efforts.

He knows he can do nothing without divine assistance, so he casts himself on God’s mercy and promises after choosing a wise course of action. And it is this combination that is true wisdom. Grasp it, and remember it!

Trusting in the Lord is an essential aspect of one’s relationship with God. It requires surrendering our will and placing our confidence in God’s sovereignty, love, and wisdom. The verse promises happiness to those who place their trust in the Lord. This happiness is not circumstantial but grounded in the unchanging nature of God. It is a contentment that transcends any external circumstances or challenges. It is a deep-seated joy and peace that comes from knowing and trusting in God.
