Please read Proverbs 3.
Meditate on verses 5-6.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own
understanding.
In all of your ways acknowledge
Him, and He will make your paths straight.
The words of Proverbs
3:5-6 are foundational truths for walking with God.
The word acknowledge comes
from the Hebrew word yada which means to know in a personal, relational
way. Here, as opposed to just a mental understanding, is the additional
characteristic of relationship in knowing. When Jesus saves you, He does so to
bring you into a vibrant relationship with God. The sin in your life is taken
away, and you are purified, so you get to have a non-stop relationship with
your Creator. You get what Adam and Eve lost—you get to walk with God.
So a good way to state
this verse is, “In all your ways know God.” In everything you do, in all your
ways, you should do it WITH God, knowing Him and yourself better through the
journey.
In Proverbs 3 the treasure
hunt continues! Note the focus on wisdom being better than silver, gold, and
precious jewels. Every verse in this chapter could be a prayer for yourself or
someone you love. Topics include: love, faithfulness, discipline, and living
with others in a holy way.
Pray Proverbs 3:5-6 over
yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, help 
and me trust in You
and me trust in You
with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.
In all of our ways, we want to know You.
Thank You for making our paths straight.
In Your name, Jesus~”
