What is meant by leaning not on your own understanding?

In Proverbs 3:5, we are instructed to 'lean not unto thine own understanding.' This phrase encapsulates the challenge of surrendering our reason and logic to God’s wisdom. Human understanding is often limited and flawed, shaped by our experiences and perceptions. By contrast, God's understanding is perfect and eternal. When we lean on our own understanding, we may miss the depth of God's plans for us. Trusting in God invites us to recognize our need for His guidance, fosters humility, and encourages us to seek His wisdom through prayer and the Scriptures, allowing His truth to reshape our perspectives.
