Proverbs 3:5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
(Continued from yesterday.) Next the recipe tells you what not to add – your own understanding.
Kind of like it says on the Jello box – do not add pineapple or pineapple juice – jello won’t gel
Or like it says on the dry yeast package – do not add water to the yeast ahead of time – your bread won’t rise.
Or when you are making meringue for lemon meringue pie from egg whites – don’t let the yellow of the egg get in your mix – the meringue won’t fluff up.
Do not try to add your two cents to God’s directions and instructions – you will lose your way.
Now you are ready to add another generous portion of acknowledging Him. How much? In all our ways. Let’s see that would be our thinking ways, our walking ways, our talking ways, our spending ways, our dressing ways, our working ways, our playing ways, our praying ways, our resting ways. The way we do the things we do – in all of our ways.
Put it all together and what do we get – a promise that God will direct our paths. Even better than mapquest or a GPS unit in your car. American King James Version“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21. Surefire, 100% perfect and trustworthy directions. I’ll take that anyday.
Try this recipe for walking God’s Way. It’s full proof – you can’t miss if you follow the directions. Be blessed. Leslie
