“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
This Proverb is really the synopsis of how to walk with God. It begins with your commitment. Is it lukewarm or are you in all the way? God wants all of you and does not want you to hold back certain things that are of special value to you. Many believers go for God but tell Him there are restrictions. This is an attitude like “These things are precious to me so don’t interfere.”
God did not die for part of you! He died to magnify and restore everything in your life. What you think is valuable makes God laugh! He not only appreciates all your talents and possessions He wants to multiply and refine them. What you have today is nothing compared to what He wants to do for you. His mind is thinking right now how can He give you abundantly more than you ask or think! That is our amazing God!
The challenge is understanding your mind cannot comprehend the ways of God. He thinks and acts differently than the ways of the world. The rational approach to life is not necessarily the plan of God. So you have to lean on the wisdom of God and walk by faith.
God wants to guide you on a path leading to an abundant life. However, you have to make Him the centerpiece and priority of your life. Your allegiance to God speaks much louder than your actions. It is about a commitment from the heart to follow God.
Commit your works each day to God and He will establish His thoughts in you. He is a living God and wants to do more for you than you can ever do for yourself!
