Proverbs 3:5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is an old joke that I heard years ago. It seems that a chicken and a pig were discussing what they could do to show their appreciation to farmer Brown. The chicken suggested that they should honor him by providing a breakfast of ham and eggs. The pig snorted that for the chicken it would just be giving an offering—for him it would be a total commitment.<\/p>\n

What a silly story . . . yet it becomes all too appropriate when we relate it to our spiritual walk with the Lord. There are many Christians who are satisfied with only giving a token offering. They do not want to be associated with those they consider to be wild eyed religious fanatics—the WERFs.<\/p>\n

As I study the lives of the Old Testament and New Testament saints, I find that they were far sighted and solid in faith. They looked beyond the frothy things of this world and saw the reality of eternity with the Lord.<\/p>\n

As we read Proverbs 3:5-6, we see the direction that provides us with a road map for our life. When we place our complete trust in the Lord<\/em> we have the confident assurance that He will direct our paths<\/em>. I prefer to have the Lord of the universe direct my life rather than to trust in my own human resources. I trust in Him!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
