Proverbs 3:5&6: The Distilled Essence of the Christian Life

On almost every Christian’s list of favorite Scripture passages, Proverbs 3:5&6 condenses God’s will for each one of us. We are to trust completely in our Savior and Lord, walking by faith in His Word and not by sight in our own sinful, selfish understanding. We are to come to know God intimately as we grow in Him, and as He places our feet on paths of life pleasing to Him, we enjoy the peace that passes all understanding. Using many Scripture passages and references, Bob answers the question, “Why is Proverbs 3:5&6 so meaningful to so many?" Written down by Solomon thousands of years ago as he was guided by God’s Spirit, Proverbs 3:5&6 comes alive in today’s world as Bob reveals these short twenty-nine words as truly “The Distilled Essence of the Christian Life."
