In ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths
Proverbs 3:6
Have you ever been around someone who is unthankful to God? Every good thing that happens in their life is excused as fate, good luck or is simply dispelled as chance. As their life winds down into further chaos you ask yourself how far down will they go until they hit rock bottom [Luke 15:17]. When will they realize that every good & perfect thing comes only from God our Father [James 1:17].
Today’s verse lets us know the power of recognizing God’s work in our lives. We’re told that as we acknowledge Him our paths are made straight. No longer do we wind along roads filled with complicated twists & turns. No longer do we trudge through life trying to see our destination. We have straight paths & clear vision to our future.
Now, everything in life doesn’t look like God’s plan at first glance. But, if we’re doing things His way, acknowledging Him, and walking uprightly [Psalm 84:11] we’re ensured that everything will work out. There will be celebration & joy [Psalm 30:11] where others experience pain, sadness & distress.
This week let’s acknowledge the working of God in ALL WE DO, no more excuses! It doesn’t matter whether things currently seem successful or not let’s acknowledge Him in each & every little thing knowing He has the power to turn them around for our good [Romans 8:28]. Then, before long, we’ll discover our paths to the future are straight, clear and easy to follow.
