Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ; in all you ways acknowledge him , and he will make your paths straight .
As I flipped open my bible , this is what it opened to . Probably because Proverbs if one of my favorite books .(especially when I get lost in a sermon at church happens all the time ) , But I do love this verse .I have it on my mirror and I look at it everyday . This happens to be a very hard verse for me to follow though .
Trust in the Lord with all your heart It is hard enough for me to trust what I see around me , even a little bit . But I am supposed to trust God with all my heart . Someone / something I can't see or touch .
Lean not on your own understandings . Ok I am a human . Sometimes we think we know it all and we can hande it all alone . I tend to be one that always wants to do it by myself , I don't need help , I don't want help , and I am not going to ask for it . I can't tell you how many times a day I find myself saying" Ok God that's a good idea.. But what about this .I think I am going to do it my way " HA HA we all know what happens when we think like that . But we all do it all the time . Will we ever learn ? Only God knows .
In all you do acknowlegde him . In ALL my ways . That means when I am by myself or with somebody right ? When I hanging out with friends , or I am talking on the phone , or driving to work . In the good AND the bad . Or maybe just when I am sitting in my room all alone besides my cat . In EVERYTHING I do . Not just the Sunday and Wednesday services . Not just when I am around church people . All the time Everyday . Acknowledge God .
and he will make your paths straight . Ok . That path may feel lonely at times it will have some bumps and humps .. But it will be straight . And God will be with me the whole time .
That feeling of love is something I can't help but want . It is something I am willing to do the work for . At times I Get tired of doing the work and then I see this last part of the verse . And I know it is worth it .
