HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

In the margin of my bible it says that word 'direct' means to make smooth or straight, so we could say He shall make our paths smooth and straight.

How often do we feel like our pathway is anything but smooth and straight, but we have to believe this verse by faith and fulfil it's conditions. We need to believe for God to make our paths smooth and straight. Jesus taught us that we get what we believe for. 

What are you and I actually believing for? For instance, are some of us believing everything is going to go pear shaped because past experience has taught us that, or are we choosing to believe God that He's going to sort things out for us and make it a smooth path? Are we believing Jesus is making the difference for us in 2022?

The verse before this is Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. How often do we lean on what we think we know, thinking we've got it all planned out and then it goes haywire? I've been there and done that a few times!

But there is a better way and it's to acknowledge God, but notice it is says in all your ways. Do we keep seeking Him for one particular area and forget to acknowledge and be aware of Him in all areas of our lives?  We get so focused on our plan, on what we want, we maybe forget to include God in all of our lives. 

Let's ask Him for His wisdom and input in all areas, seek His plan, not our own, and believe and thank Him in faith that He shall make our future paths smooth and straight.  

We can believe Him for what He's promised but let's do it His way. 😊
