‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight’ (PV 3:5, 6)
The principle of submission and respect to God, for our daily choices, is revealed in the Bible. Intimacy and communion with God is the foundation for true and lasting success. Bring to God all your proposals for action and wait for His Word before you proceed. Do not be in a hurry! Do not bring preconditions to God when you pray! Let God be God! He directs you ‘with His eyes’. If He says ‘yes’ it is yes! If He says ‘no’ it is no! This is the Word of God leading you to a blessed life, free from unexpected hindrances, unnecessary delays and useless pains. It is a life of peace, joy, wisdom and fulfillment. It is a fruitful life free from ‘menopause’.
Only God can offer such a blessed gift! Only God!
In Hebrew, the word ‘straight’ in the scripture above means the most convenient option. The condition for success is to tell God about everything. Do not ‘move’ without God! Then the journey of your life shall be right, safe, pleasant and prosperous.
Please observe that the command to trust God is to be done with ALL your heart and in ALL circumstances of life. Submission to God’s will, as revealed in the Bible, affects the totality of our emotions. This is a diligent, detailed and patient walk with God. It is step by step; moment by moment. There is no ‘jumping’ when walking with God (except when He ‘jumps’, then you jump with Him, of course…).
Draw closer to God that He may draw closer to you and show you wonderful things from His law! The Word of God should be your delight, sweeter than your daily food, stronger than your personal dreams and safer than your home.
The more I study the Bible, the more I love it! The Bible is a stranger to you except you read it; you study it and daily apply its words. Do you try to imagine how your life can be if you truly obey the Word of God? The best you can imagine is still below the vision of who you can be, according to God’s plan and purpose in Christ…
“Father, help me…I wasted enough time…please increase my hunger and appreciation for Your Word…help me to obey Your commandments…help me to fulfill my destiny in Christ…I depend on You, in Jesus name I pray, amen!”
