Reflections on Proverbs: Growing in the Art of Skillful Living (Part 8) The Danger of Self-Trust

10/19/2025 Rev. Paul Bang   Proverbs 3:5-7; 12:15; 14:12; 21:2; 28:26 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,     and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him,     and he will make straight your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes;     fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,     but a wise man listens to advice. 12 There is a way that seems right to a man,     but its end is the way to death. 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,     but the Lord weighs the heart. 26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool,     but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
