Takeaways:
As he is writing Proverbs, Solomon is listing the elements necessary for the Lord to direct our paths.
The first we need to do is trust in him with all (not some, all) of our hearts.
Next, we must disregard our own understanding of things.
And third, we must acknowledge the Lord in all of our ways, in everything we do.
If we do those things, he will make our paths straight.
