The Basis of Spiritual Understanding and Perspective
Proverbs 3:5-6 states “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct they paths”.
This is a basic truth, repeated in the gospels and church epistles. For the “eyes of our understanding” to be enlightened and for God to teach us to see things from a spiritual perspective, we first need to cultivate a personal relationship with the Father.
