Proverbs 3:5Trust in the Lord . . . lean not to thine own understanding.Reason and faithThe question is, not whether we shall use reason, but what are its limits?

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:5

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Ver. 5. Trust in the Lord. ] To trust in God is to be unbottomed of thyself, and of every creature, and so to lean upon God, that if he fail thee thou sinkest. Confidence is the least, and yet the best we can render to the Lord, for hereby we acknowledge his sovereignty, and set the crown upon his head, as it were. See Judges 9:15 . And lean not to thine own understanding. ] Which, because men do, hence... read more
