Straight Paths

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.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6 makes this promise: if you acknowledge God's sovereignty over every aspect of your life, He will guide your path. And, as you prayerfully consider the path that God intends for you to take, here are things you should do: 1. Study His Word and allow it to be your guide. 2. Associate with fellow believers who will encourage and challenge your spiritual growth. 3. Listen carefully to that inner voice that speaks to you in the quiet moments of your daily devotionals. And 4. Be patient. Your Heavenly Father may not always reveal Himself as quickly as you would like, but rest assured that God intends to use you in wonderful, unexpected ways. Your challenge, if you are willing to accept it, is to watch, to listen, to learn … and then to be a faithful, obedient and available servant of Jesus Christ.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, may my thoughts, words and actions be pleasing to You. Help me to live my life, with the gifts and abilities that You have blessed me with according to Your Word. Direct my path far from the temptations and distractions of this world. And, enable me discover Your will and follow it. I pray this in Jesus' Name. Amen
