Good Morning! Proverbs Day 3 Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths (Road) straight. This is one of my favorite Proverbs. When I was up at Christian Love Ministries in the Half Way House 4 yrs ago I had that written on a big piece of paper on my door, so I had to look at it before I went out into the world. I think I'm going to do it again! We sing a song at CR, its called Road to Recovery, I love it, cause whether you want to face it or not, we are all on a Road. The Road of Life! And we all have some type of Hurt, Habit or Hangup we are dealing with, or have dealt with on that Road. But for me, unless I remember that God is in control and that I need to try and follow him, my road ends up getting bumpy and curvy and if I don't watch myself I may take a wrong turn somewhere. In Vs 7 It says, Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. As I talked about yesterday we all think we are Smart, but unless we find the Lords wisdom and understanding. (Vs 13) we will end up like the people in Vs 34-35 He mocks proud mockers, but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame. And we are all fools if we don't understand we need God in our lives. It was when I found that I had to lean on the Lords understanding and not mine that Vs 23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. Now there are times on this Road that my foot still stumbles, but guess what? God is always there to catch me, for the Lord is my confidence and He will keep my foot from being snared. Vs 26. But if you are reading with me the Proverbs you will see the point I am trying to make today. It is a point that is so easy if we have the Wisdom and Understanding of the Lord. And that is we need Him in every thing we do. We need the Grace and Mercy He has shown to us by giving His Son to die on the Cross so we can be Forgiven and have a Relationship with him. We need Him so that on this Road we are on we can help each other and walk the path together in Love. Because God is Love! And to keep us from the wrath that will overtake those who think they are so Smart. Vs 33 tells us, The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous. So today before you go out on your road to travel today, sit down and have a talk with God. Get in His word so you can push out your understanding and replace it with His. And believe me, He will direct your paths. HABD!

We are on a Journey!

A special gift for you from the wilderness...
ReplyDeleteNot one child of God will be put in a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing and I prove it by the word of God at http://minigoodtale.wordpress.com The true Gospel now delivered sets all free.
