1.6.14
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:6
How do we acknowledge God in all ways? By first of all knowing Him as God and in all that or as much as you can know Him as God. As God the Creator, the Father, the One who heals, the One who Saves, the One who delivers, the One who sings over us, the One who provides, the One who is peace, the One who is compassionate, the One who is omnipresent (everywhere at all times, He never sleeps, nor slumbers, nor hides that He cannot be found), omniscient (knows EVERYTHING, there is nothing that He does not know, past, present or future, He is a true KNOW IT ALL), omnipotent (all powerful, having more power than anything, anybody, any force on the face of the earth and universe).
When we start to know Him for who He is, then its fairly obvious why the writer of Proverbs (wise sayings) tells us to know Him. If we know Him as the One who is up all night, we can talk to Him and give Him our sleepless nights with all it's worries, fears, and so tired I can't sleep issues.
If we know Him as God our Healer then we can say "You are the God who Heals me" and believe, trust in, rely on the knowledge that He has provided for your healing.
Whatever our need is, our day looks like, our worries may be, our fear seems, God has a response for. When we realize that then we can trust that He will direct our paths.
A path is not just a course or direction that we are taking as we walk in our everyday life, it's also the direction or course our conduct and thoughts go.
It's important for us to realize that we can ask God which route to take to work, which state we should live in, where we should go to school. But its as equally important to realize that we can ask Him to change the direction of our hearts, mind and will. As we know Him more a beautiful thing will take place in us, we will find ourselves finding He is our "go to" source for everything we need to know about ourselves and where we are supposed to be, who we are supposed to be and why we are who we are here on this side of Heaven.
I want to purpose in my heart to not be frivolous about acknowledging Him in all my ways, but to earnestly seek to know Him in all aspects of my life, to understand what the good and perfect will is for my life. To do that I must not be conformed to this world, fashioned after and adapted to it's external, superficial customs, but to be transformed by the renewal of my mind with new ideas and attitudes that are from God. (Romans 12:2) 6/365
