Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
This is such a simple direction that we find in the Bible.
In EVERYTHING, look to God, look to who He is, and He will guide us.
I cringe when I think about how often in my life I don't acknowledge Him and how I needlessly flounder because of that fact.
Through a season of unease and hardship, or through a hike to the top of a beautiful mountain peak we are to acknowledge Him, in everything.
At salvation we gave Him our hearts, acknowledged our sin and knew we needed His saving grace obtained through His death on the cross. However, it does not stop there. As a Christian, a follower of Christ, we must look to Him for the rest of our time here on earth.
I wonder how one who knows and believes the Bible, cannot do this in day to day life?
How do I expect to have answers, clarity and wisdom for life decisions?
Psalms 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in every way you should go, I will counsel you with my loving eye on you
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you
How do I expect comfort when I need it (Psalms 23) or a peace that passes understanding?
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
"Father...help me,help us to look to You. In the good and in the hard you promise us that if we keep our eyes on You that You will always help us and always direct us.
It's simple verse Lord but it is hard for me to do. My will and my way get in the way and I falter. I ask for a strengthened faith and a stronger trust in You. Remind us of the times when we allowed you to take control and it was well. I look forward to walking closer with You, so that I may walk with security and assurance that You are directing my path. I thank you Father."
