Proverbs 16:9

 

Proverbs 16:9

“A man’s heart devises his ways, but the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 How many times do we chose to go our own way and not God’s way? Do we even know what God’s way is? For some it is easy to know what direction God is taking us. Fothe others it seems it is impossible to know. We people go in so many directions, it is hard to know what God has planned for us.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6. Let us take this opportunity in our life to be still and wait upon the Lord. Let us listen for His direction.

What is it that He can tell me that I need to know to be more like Him? Am I letting my fears or my shortcomings get in the way of trusting Him fully? I want to be so close to God that I can feel His presence. I want to be so tuned in to God that I can hear His voice when He speaks.

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:25,26

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
