Why should we lean not on our own understanding?

Leaning not on our own understanding is a principle grounded in recognizing the limitations of human wisdom. The Bible explains that 'there is none that understandeth' (Romans 3:11), thus pointing out that our judgment is flawed. When we rely on our understanding, we risk following paths that lead to confusion and disappointment. Instead, God’s understanding is perfect, and He knows what is best for us at all times. By depending on Him, we can navigate life’s complexities with confidence, knowing that He has a sovereign plan.
