Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
Have you ever been lost? I have. Not just once, but several times. I have been lost on a hunting trip, making the wrong turn on a highway, and a few other times I will not go into detail to explain.
Most of our problems arise when we fail to read the directions or do our own thing when we get God’s instructions wrong or out of order. STOP! Be honest and admit how many times you have failed to consult God and His Word before you acted?
When you became lost and undone did you blame God for the mess you found yourself in? (It’s getting uncomfortable now isn’t it?) Just remember that this is directed at me just as much, possibly more, than you.
So what are we expected to do? Just read and re-read today’s Scripture. There are several key steps that instruct us:
- We are to “TRUST God with all of our heart.”
- We are not to “lean on our own UNDERSTANDING;”
- We are to “ACKNOWLEDGE Him” in all our ways!
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
