Good
Morning!
I
pray that all of you are enjoying this "walk" through the third
chapter of Proverbs. I know that I am! These scriptures
are all very familiar to us, but sometimes when we read "familiar"
scriptures we don't always "stop" and really think about what
we are reading. I believe that is why The Lord is having me take
time to allow Him to show us more about these scriptures than what we
"thought" we knew about them! So, stay "teachable",
but enjoy the journey!
We
are going to look at verses 5 & 6 on this "leg" of our trip...I
hope you have the road map in front of you!
The
"instructions": Trust in The Lord with all
of your heart....lean not unto your own understanding....in all of
your "ways" acknowledge Him.
The
"results": He will direct your paths (this promise involves
many more "benefits" than what you may think). However, we
will talk about that after we find out more about the
"instructions".
#1.
"Trust in The Lord".....Don't try to complicate this
"instruction". It means to have "childlike"
faith that God will do what He has promised to do! For
example...there is a little child standing on the porch and the father is
standing on the ground. Their daddy tells them, "go ahead and jump
off the porch, and I will catch you". The child does not begin to
wonder if daddy is telling them the truth or not...No! They just
"jump off of the porch"! That is the way that we are supposed
to "Trust in The Lord".......after all, He is our
"Father"!
#2.
"lean not unto your own understanding"....Don't try to figure
everything out! You can end up "thinking" yourself out of a promise
from God. Oh, I have so many things that I want to share concerning this
"instruction", so guess what? Yes, you know what I am
going to say......"to be continued"~~~~~~
Have a Blessed Day!! (Go ahead and "jump" off the porch!) In His Love, Luanne www.todayministries.org |
