How can we trust in the Lord?

We can trust in the Lord (Prov. 22:19)

when we pay attention and listen to the word of God of wisdom (v. 17)

and keep it in our hearts (v. 18).

The reason why we cannot trust in the Lord is

Because we aren’t keeping His word in our hearts.

The reason why we cannot keep His word in our heart is

Because even though we hear the word, the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth

choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful (Mt. 13:22).
