Good
Morning!
Until
The Lord gives me a different "assignment", I will continue sharing
out of the third chapter of Proverbs. We are living in a day and time
when God is pouring out revelation knowledge on His people, so that we can
"grow up" and become mature sons and daughters. He does not want us
to stay "whiny-binys" (that is what I used to call my
grandchildren when they did not want to obey the instructions).
They would whine and cry when I did not do what they wanted me to do when
they wanted me to do it! Are we getting the "picture" of a lot
of Christians who do the same thing, when God does not do what they want
Him to do when they want Him to do it? That is because, like
little children, they do not understand that the "instructions" are
for their own good!
Well,
I don't know who that was for....I just "show up for
work" and type what The Lord tells me to type!
Anyway, what I just "typed" certainly relates to the study
we are doing in Proverbs.....God gives us "instructions" and then
tells us what the "results" will be if we choose to obey
those instructions! So, let's look at verses 5 and 6 in
Proverbs chapter three~~~~"Trust in the Lord with all of your
heart, lean not unto your own understanding. In all of your
ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths". The
"instructions" are listed in verse 5 and the first part of verse
6....the "result" is in the last part of verse 6.
There
are three things that we can choose to do (I have underlined them), and
I want to take time to talk about each one of them
individually...."trust", "lean" and
"acknowledge". I cannot do this in one encouragement but I will take
them (one at a time), starting Monday. Remember....."growth" takes
time. We don't get from being "whiny-binys" to mature,
obedient sons and daughters of God overnight!
Have
a Blessed Weekend! (Keep it Simple!)
In His Love, Luanne
