This verse reminds us that when we embark on a new journey, we should not be afraid or discouraged because God is always with us. He commands us to be strong and courageous because He knows that stepping into the unknown can be daunting. With the assurance of God’s presence, we can face any challenges that come our way.

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Starting a new journey requires us to trust in the Lord completely. We must resist the temptation to rely on our own understanding or human wisdom. Instead, we should submit our plans and desires to God and allow Him to guide our paths. When we put our trust in Him, He will lead us in the right direction and make our paths straight.

Isaiah 43:19

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

In this verse, God assures us that He is always doing new things in our lives. As we embark on a new journey, we can trust that He is already at work, making a way where there seems to be no way. Even in the most challenging and barren situations, God can bring forth streams of blessings and opportunities.

Philippians 3:13-14

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Starting a new journey requires us to let go of the past and focus on what lies ahead. Just as the Apostle Paul emphasizes, we should not dwell on our past mistakes, setbacks, or achievements. Instead, we should press on towards the goal that God has set for us. Our eyes should be fixed on Jesus, and we should strive to fulfill the calling He has placed on our lives.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

In every new journey, God promises to instruct and teach us in the right way to go. He offers His divine counsel with a loving watchful eye upon us. When we seek His guidance and rely on Him, He will lead us along the path He has prepared for us, protecting us from harm and leading us towards success.

Psalm 37:23

“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.”

As we delight in the Lord and commit our ways to Him, He takes delight in guiding our steps. When we trust in Him wholeheartedly, He ensures that our steps are firm and secure. He will never let us stumble or fall if we continue to seek Him and follow His leading on our new journey.

Psalm 119:105

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

In the midst of a new journey, God’s word serves as a lamp to guide our steps and a light to illuminate our path. His teachings and principles act as a compass, showing us the right way to go. When we meditate on His word and allow it to shape our decisions, we can walk confidently in His divine guidance.

Romans 12:2

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

When our minds are aligned with His will, we can discern His good, pleasing, and perfect plans for our lives.

Deuteronomy 31:8

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

As we embark on a new journey, we can find solace in knowing that the Lord goes before us. He promises to be our constant companion, never leaving us or forsaking us. In times of uncertainty or fear, we can take courage and trust that God is with us, guiding and protecting us every step of the way.

Jeremiah 33:3

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Through prayer and communion with God, we can tap into His vast knowledge and receive insights that will lead us towards success and fulfillment.

Matthew 6:33

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

When starting a new journey, our ultimate priority should be seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness. When we prioritize His will and align our desires with His, He promises to provide for our needs. Instead of striving solely for worldly accomplishments, we should strive to live in obedience to God, and He will take care of everything else.

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”

In our new journey, we can find comfort in knowing that the Lord is our shepherd. He will guide us, protect us, and provide us with everything we need. As long as we remain under His shepherding care, we can rest assured that we will lack nothing and have all that we require to fulfill our purpose.

Galatians 6:9

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Starting a new journey may come with challenges and obstacles. However, we are reminded not to grow weary in doing good. It is essential to persevere and remain steadfast in our commitment to follow God’s path. When we continue to press on, we can be confident that in due time, we will reap a harvest of blessings and fulfilled promises.

Psalm 121:1-2

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

When embarking on a new journey, we may encounter daunting challenges ahead. In those moments, we can lift our eyes to the Lord, recognizing that our help comes from Him alone. As the creator of heaven and earth, He is more than capable of guiding us and providing all the assistance we need on our journey.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

Starting a new journey often requires wisdom, and God encourages us to ask Him for it. He promises to give generously and without finding fault when we seek His wisdom. By acknowledging our dependence on God’s guidance and seeking His wisdom, we can navigate our new journey with confidence and make wise decisions along the way.

1 Peter 5:7

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

As we embark on a new journey, anxiety and worry may try to creep into our minds. However, we are reminded to cast all our burdens and worries on the Lord because He cares for us deeply. Letting go of anxiety and entrusting our concerns to Him allows us to move forward with peace and confidence in His loving care.

Psalm 16:11

“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

In our new journey, we can trust that God will make known to us the path of life. He will guide us towards the fulfillment of our purpose, and in His presence, we will experience true joy and eternal pleasures.

Matthew 28:20

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Instead, we can walk in the freedom and grace of being made new in Christ, ready to embark on an exciting journey of growth and transformation.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

As we begin a new journey, it is vital to find joy and delight in the Lord above all else. When our hearts are aligned with His, He promises to grant us the desires of our hearts. However, this does not mean we will receive everything we want, but rather, our desires will be in alignment with His will, bringing us true joy and fulfillment.

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

When starting a new journey, we may feel weary and burdened by the weight of the unknown. Jesus invites us to come to Him and find rest for our souls. He calls us to take His yoke upon us, to learn from Him and embrace His gentle and humble nature. In surrendering to Him, we can find true rest and peace, even in the midst of uncertainty.

Proverbs 16:9

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

Humans often make plans for their journey, but ultimately, it is the Lord who establishes our steps. As we trust in Him and acknowledge His sovereignty, He redirects our paths and leads us on a journey that aligns with His divine plan. Letting go of our own plans and surrendering to His guidance brings us peace and assurance.

Psalm 119:133

“Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.”

In our new journey, we ought to surrender our footsteps to God and ask Him to direct us according to His word. We desire to walk in obedience and alignment with His will. By seeking His guidance and relying on His strength, we can avoid being ruled by sin and walk in paths of righteousness.

Hebrews 13:8

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Amidst the changes and uncertainties that come with a new journey, we can find comfort in knowing that Jesus Christ remains the same. He is unchanging in His character, love, and faithfulness.

How Should Christians Respond to ‘Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination?’

Cindi McMenamin Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
Updated Apr 26, 2021

When your plans get foiled, you find yourself on a detour, or you are smack dab in the middle of troubles, you may hear a well-meaning friend try to comfort you or steer you in the right direction with the phrase, “Life is a journey, not a destination.”

While that motto might seem like encouragement to hang in there and focus more on your present than your future, it can also steer you wrong if you start to live by it. Yes, life is a journey with its ups and downs. But if we lose sight of our ultimate destination, our journey through life’s challenges becomes meaningless. When you and I stop thinking of our final destination as believers, we will miss the opportunities throughout life that God gives us to refine our character, give Him glory, share Him with others, and ultimately prepare us for our eternity with Him in heaven.

What Does “Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination” Mean?

This well-worn maxim originated from American author Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote in his essay, Self-Reliance : “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” His essay, intended to convince people to avoid conformity, stressed that for one to truly be significant he or she had to follow their own conscience and “do your own thing.” He contended that the process of creating is its own reward and that we can only feel relieved and happy in life when we pour our hearts into our work and do our best. Anything less will give us no peace, he wrote.

The mere fact that the quote comes from a position of relying on self should warn any believer that it runs contrary to what the Bible teaches about relying on God. The quote, in essence, implies that a journey is to have a goal in life and hopes to obtain that goal, but if you don’t then you can just enjoy an average life. A destination, on the other hand, is a concrete goal in which one will do whatever it takes to get there. In other words, if you set out to drive from California to New York and you’re focused on the destination, you’ll eventually get there. But if you choose to be more intent on the journey, itself, it’s possible you may get distracted and settle somewhere in the Midwest, causing you to never see or experience the East Coast at all.

What Does the Bible Say about Our Lives and Our Real Home As Christians?

Colossians 3:1-2 tells us to be heavenly minded, focused on our eternal home: “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” (NKJV).

Jesus told us to invest in heaven – our destination – when He warned: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” ( Matthew 6:19-21 ). He knew that whatever we spent our time, money, and effort on would eventually win our hearts. He didn’t want us to become distracted with the things of this world and losing sight of our eternal destination.

Jesus also told a parable in Matthew 25:14-30 about the importance of investing well what God has given us on this earth because it will impact our eternal rewards and in some cases, our final destination.

“do their own thing” and go the way that most others are going and it will mean death and destruction. He urged that we not live for the here and now, nor follow where the crowd is going, but be careful to enter the “narrow gate.” In case there was any doubt where that narrow gate was, Jesus said in John 10:9 that He was the gate: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” Jesus also said in John 14:6 that He was the only way to heaven: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

How Should Christians Respond to “Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination?”

When someone tells you “life is a journey, not a destination,” they may very well be encouraging you to take time to smell the flowers, to bloom where you are planted, and to not be so focused on the end result that you miss the lessons and pleasures along the way. It’s true that we are to pay attention to what God is doing in our everyday life, as He refines us through our circumstances. Yet, life is very much about our destination, and the challenges we face are meant to prepare us for it.

Philippians 3:13-14 tells us to forget what lies behind (our baggage from the past), reach forward to what lies ahead (our eternal home), and “press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” That means, keep your eyes on the prize: your calling to serve and glorify God and spend eternity with Him. After all, we were created to love God and enjoy Him forever.

You can still enjoy the journey, learn from the journey, and allow God to shape and refine you on the journey. But don’t lose sight of where you are headed. There are not many roads to heaven and multiple ways to find God’s favor. Jesus said there was one way – and it was through Him . Keep your eyes on that door and it will lead you to a destination of joy. Psalm 16:11 says, “In [His] presence is fullness of joy; At [His] right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

Fuel the Journey: Bible Verses on Faith and Trust

Melinda Burns

When we read Matthew eleven’s final verses, we are drawn into a script where Jesus reads the hearts of those who were following Him thousands of years ago. Drinking His words in this passage is like reading the pages of our own minds in modern times. Though uttered millennia ago, the words invoking rest are eternal in nature. The Word of Christ addresses the weariness of the human traveler, regardless of time or the space we occupy.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30, NIV

Fuel the Journey: Bible Verses on Faith and Trust

On a journey, we may also need to pause and rest intermittently to give ourselves a moment to gather strength and refresh before resuming the next stretch. As we experience the nature of a trip in our natural world, we must consider what we need for a spiritual journey as well.

Just as we can’t subsist only on the snacks we pack or purchase for our road trip, our lives are designed to be sustained by the Word of God as food and fuel (Matthew 4:4). In this way, we embrace the Bible as the believer’s manual for living. It conveys God’s instruction and unfolds dramatic plots of subterfuge and stealth. It also undergirds our hope through a collective narrative that points to One Savior, Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

He, as the Word, embodies the living Scripture that infuses His words into the parts of our souls that are parched and aching for what only the Living Water can furnish (John 1:1-14; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23; John 4:14).

Bible verses on faith and trust provide nourishment to sustain us through the best and worst of what we may encounter in this life. They answer the emptiness within, furnishing righteousness to fill our own hungry and thirsty souls (Matthew 5:6).

Humans, in both the pages of Biblical history and the present, crave relief from struggle. We yearn for the rest that only the Savior can give as described in His invitation to come. We are welcome to come even as we are weary or burdened. When we encounter Him, we embrace the Christ who transforms us and refuses to leave us the same.

Fuel the Journey: Bible Verses on Faith and Trust 3

Wherever He beckons for us to surrender, we can be assured that there is something infinitely better waiting in the exchange. Yet, that is the challenge that many of us have suffered through. The Father knows how desperately we need to soak in the truth and healing that Bible verses on faith and trust can provide.

Many of us have been stripped of our value, in one way or another. By the time we arrive at a place where we can process choosing to deliberately engage in a relationship with God, it seems easier to cling to the familiar. We find ourselves conflicted and suspended between two realities. On one side we want to cleave to God. On the other, dysfunctional patterns of belief and behavior seem to corrode our lives with the iteration of destructive cycles spinning us out of control.

As frequently as we hear, “come as you are” in faith spaces, we wrestle with trying to fix life, ourselves, and others when the Lord just wants to embrace us in rest. The underlying premise conveys that God loves us completely in our current condition. What needs to be made whole in us only happens when placing our faith and trust in Christ Jesus.

Jesus loves us too much to leave us in the same wounded and weary state as when we arrived. As Beginning and End, He who is, and was, and is to come, Jesus commits to initiating transformation in us, keeping us through the process, and sealing the work He finished with His Holy Spirit (Revelation 1:8, 21:6; Philippians 1:6; 2 Timothy 1:12; Ephesians 1:13).

We aren’t perfect, and never will be until we stand before Him, perfected through the work of His Holy Spirit alive in us. Although our healing process may bring hidden hurt to the surface, God wants better for us than to live bound to what He came to destroy.

It is as we experience daily life with Him, that the Holy Spirit desires to empower us to live an abundant life, unburdened of the soul wounds that erode our kingdom promises of peace and joy (John 10:10; Romans 14:17).

Fuel the Journey: Bible Verses on Faith and Trust 1

He lights our path instead of abandoning us to follow what seems comfortable to the natural mind, but would otherwise end in soul destruction (Isaiah 43:2; Hebrews 12:6; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 14:12).

In doing so, He produces the change that walking with His Spirit brings to a life shipwrecked by sin and its effects (Romans 8:2, 5-6). The miracle of it all is that He does the work; we simply have to believe that He is God and that He is able (Hebrews 11:6).

Jesus, however, won’t wrestle us into this. His Holy Spirit engages us with unmistakable truth, speaking gently and clearly to us. He will navigate us through the maze of impossibility when we ask and acquiesce to His kind and compassionate guidance.

Yet, when we have been mishandled by life and people, faith is the most precious item remaining in our possession. We have so little of it left, whether in God, ourselves, or others.

Fuel the Journey: Bible Verses on Faith and Trust 2

All we need is a tiny seed of faith. A mustard seed is among the most minuscule, but it flourishes and provides shelter and shade, expanding larger than one would imagine judging the size and scope of the seed (Matthew 17:20).

Where we need to increase and endure our God-confidence, Jesus provides His Word that will help to develop and grow our faith as we come to hear and understand (Romans 10:17). We can’t experience faith with our natural senses, but when we pair it with prayer and fasting, it provides visible and tangible evidence of what we hope for and assurance of what our expectant hearts will experience (Matthew 17:21; Hebrews 11:1).

3 principles from one of the Bible's most popular verses

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Few verses are as well-known as Proverbs 3:5-6. Many of us — myself included — have made them our life verses. We meditate on the truths they remind us of and seek to order our lives around their wisdom.

And yet, so many Christians don’t fully understand the beauty and depth of the promises offered to believers in these two short verses. I know I certainly didn’t. In fact, it was years into my faith when I finally grasped the power of this particular promise God makes to His people.

Get Our Latest News for FREE

But just as important as understanding the promise, I also came to understand the principles the promise depends on.

There are three principles for us to discover in these verses that should guide our lives, every day, in every decision.

Principle 1: Trust in the Lord

Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” This is not an optional part of the Christian life. It is the very center. And still, many of us wrestle with understanding what God’s will is for us.

While that is an important question, we need not worry because we know who our God is. The Scriptures and the person of Jesus reveal to us a God whose will for us is both positive and personal.

God’s will is not a roadmap. It isn’t a 10-step guide to your perfect life. Instead, it’s a relationship. That is one of the most unique and beautiful things about our faith. It is relational. That’s why trust is so central to following Jesus.

Think about it: If you can trust Jesus to save you and take you to spend eternity with Him, you can trust Him every step of the way on your way there. He is powerful enough to give you eternal life, and yet He cares about your personal life right here, right now.

Our response to this amazing truth should be complete dedication. We must put Christ first, not just in some things, but in everything . That’s why I tell our church family there are four ways we must put God first: with our time, our attention, our income, and our love. God should get the first and best of everything we have to offer.

Principle 2: Lean on the Lord

The next part of Proverbs 3 instructs us not to lean on our own understanding. Again, we need to remember who our God is to grasp the full extent of this promise.

God is greater and wiser than us. He knows the end from the beginning. He is completely good and is working all things for the good of those who love Him. So why wouldn’t we lean on Him?

In this passage, God is not saying we ought to lack all understanding. Indeed, He has given us minds and abilities to use for His glory. But we don’t just rely on what we know. Because let’s be honest: there’s a lot we don’t know.

Yet we serve a God who knows all.

His ways are higher and better than ours and He is in complete control. That is why the Bible teaches us to ask God for wisdom — the ability to see things from His perspective.

Principle 3: Walk in His will

The last premise of Proverbs 3 is our obedience. It is not enough to just know and acknowledge God’s will. We must walk in it.

Walking is active. Walking requires participation. God wants to change us, to make us more like Jesus by the power of the Spirit. Our role is to let Him transform both our heads and our hearts.

This kind of transformation requires listening. We must listen to God and allow Him to become the One who orders our steps and our stops. We must stop running ahead or lagging behind. We must walk with God, allowing ourselves to be led and corrected by the Spirit.

The promise: He will direct your paths

When we do these three things, we can have full confidence that God will direct our paths. God has promised and He always keeps His promises. There is no reason to doubt Him. He gives us the direction we are to go and our job is to trust in Him completely and walk forward in full confidence.

I’m overcome with unexplainable peace when I consider that God will take care of my future, as long as I give it to Him. And there is tremendous freedom in knowing I don’t have to figure life out on my own.

No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer's heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord." ~ John MacArthur

"We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country." ~ C.S. Lewis

"When you sit down to eat, pray. When you eat bread, do so thanking Him for being so generous to you. If you drink wine, be mindful of Him who has given it to you for your pleasure and as a relief in sickness. When you dress, thank Him for His kindness in providing you with clothes. When you look at the sky and the beauty of the stars, throw yourself at God's feet and adore Him who in His wisdom has arranged things in this way. Similarly, when the sun goes down and when it rises, when you are asleep or awake, give thanks to God, who created and arranged all things for your benefit, to have you know, love and praise their Creator." ~ Basil the Great

This man most of all is the giver of thanks." ~ St. John Chrysostom
