"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 26 September 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: 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 path."
The words trust in the Lord, echo the command of Deuteronomy 6:5, "to love God with all our being." The verb "trust" in verse 5, is complemented by the word "lean." Trusting in God is a conscious dependance on God, much like leaning on a tree for support.
Three commands are given in verse 6: (1) TRUST meaning, "rely on, depend on" (2) LEAN NOT meaning, "do not depend on your own native instints" and (3) ACKNOWLEDGE HIM meaning "have fellowship and intimacy with God in all of your life." The result of such devotion is that God will make paths straight for you.
The basic widom issues touched on here in theses verse, and in the Book of Proverbs, is to have a personal relationship with God. Only if we know Him, and respond to Him, will the message that is presented in the Book of Proverbs produce fruit.
We as Christians need to trust the Lord completely, and to "ALWAYS" acknowledge Him in everything that we do. We are to rely on God's Word rather than on our own human wisdom. We are to honor God, by giving generously, and we are to remember when hard times come, that God loves us still, and we will see, that we have a Father who loves us deeply.
The idea here in reinforced by the command to "acknowledge Him", which means to "know that He is God," so that He can set us on the right path to righteous living. In doing so, we a Christians will find out that time and time again that God will smooth out our paths as we walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
