Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
How do we acknowledge God in all our ways? Maybe it's not as complicated as we think.
Throughout our day God gives us little indicators of His presence and His care of us. Those moments when we see something we especially like or we're at the right place at the right time. They are not coincidences but God-incidences.
My daughter went with her family to a converted barn on holiday over Easter and when she arrived she loved the wildlife pattern duvet, the lovely rabbit cushion and the picture frame with miniatures inside it. Why? Because she's interested in all of those things and her comment was "God has blessed us!" She acknowledged the hand of God at work directing her to book that place.
God is interested in everything that interests us, those things that make our hearts sing and He loves us so much He springs those little surprises on us to make us smile and bring us joy.
It's when we acknowledge His hand in our every day lives and thank Him for His kindness that we're acknowledging Him in all our ways, that He's directing us.
We went for a walk in the woods this week and there were swathes of bluebells which I absolutely love. I could smell their perfume and when you hunkered down and looked across all you could see was a sea of blue. So lovely and I thanked the Lord for them, for the opportunity to walk amongst them. Acknowledging Him is such a simple thing isn't it?
Let's be on the look-out this weekend and coming days to recognise and acknowledge God's hand of blessing on us and see Him spring His little surprises on us, and sometimes big ones - they'll make you smile.😊
