I don't understand. ( Proverbs 3 v5 )

In Hebrews 11 v 6 we are told,'And without faith it is impossible to please God,'in that chapter we have many people mentioned,and they all had this in common,they were people of faith.Not only is it impossible to please God without faith,it is impossible to know God without faith,but let us define that a bit more ,many people would say that they believe in God, but that is not not enough ,if  one has not put their faith in Christ,they do not know God. No matter who they are,it not just about knowing  that there is a  God, but rather about knowing Him personally,knowing Him as your loving heavenly Father. CP John 1 v12.That all comes about through knowing Jesus as one's Saviour, when one has done that, it becomes a living,personal, relationship,with God,a faith walk.There will be things on our faith walk,that we do not understand, let me stress this,'faith goes beyond our understanding'. Take the statement ,'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth',Genesis 1 v1.its impossible ,but faith says it is possible,and not only that,He did it in six days,and so people turn from a belief in God to a just happened theory ,now that really is impossible .The path of the Christian must be a path of faith,faith that goes beyond our understanding,oh yes there will be things we will understand ,but many things we won't,and that's were faith comes in.
