Good
Morning!
Okay!
No "cliff-hangers" today, because I am planning to get to the
bottom line of verses 5&6 in Proverbs chapter three. Yes, I can
"hear" your sigh of relief!
The "bottom
line" is this~~~~If you choose to obey the instructions in these verses,
you are going to be blessed "over and above anything that you ask or
think"! That means that if you "trust" in..."lean"
on... and "look" to The Lord in every situation of
your life, then He will "direct your paths"!
That is what I want to talk about today.
When
God says that He will "direct your paths", that means that He is
going to do a whole lot more than just stand and be like a "traffic
director". Think about it! In the natural, a
"traffic director" has no personal interest in what your
"destination" is. He is only interested in doing what he is being
paid to do. On the contrary...God is very much interested in your
"destination" and wants to keep you on the "right" path!
The
book of Proverbs has a lot to say about "paths"....it talks about
the path that leads to life, and the path that leads
to death. If we allow God to direct our paths, then we can be
assured that He will keep us on the one that leads to "life"!
When you are on the "path" that God has for you, then this is what
will happen: You will always be at the right place at the right time!
You will find "favor" everywhere you go! You will meet
the people that God wants to bring into your life! You will have
"peace and joy"! God will prosper everything that you set your
hand to! Nothing shall by any means harm you! No plague shall
come nigh your dwelling! Every "need" will be met!
You will live, move and have your being in "Him"! There is
more on that path, but this should be enough to give you the desire to allow God
to "direct your paths"! In fact, everything that God has
"promised" in His Word to give you or do for you will be found on
that "path"! So, before you get out of bed each morning....say
this, "Thank you Lord, for ordering my footsteps and directing
my paths today"!
I know
I have taken a long time on these two verses, but I believe that the
"finale" was worth waiting for!
