Proverbs 3:6 reads, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
For some, the Christian walk seems to be an uphill battle. For others, it’s as though the path is covered with ice, making it difficult not to slide off course. Yet God has made us the remarkable promise that He will personally lead us along life’s way, no matter how challenging.
The Hebrew translation of our English word “direct” is yashar. It is to make right, to make pleasant, or to make prosperous. That is what the Lord has promised you! Your part is to simply acknowledge Him before the start of any duty and before any path is ventured upon. To acknowledge the Lord is to yada, meaning to discover Him present, come to the knowledge that He is here, and find a new way. It is the kind of knowledge that comes from a personal relationship. Therein is the key to a Christian’s day-by-day walk with the Lord.
To seek God in every endeavor is to see Him active in our lives. He desires to lead us more than we want to be led! Knowing that, I am encouraged to ask the Lord to guide, open doors, and let His perfect will be known. And with that comes great liberty to step out and enjoy this glorious experience called Christianity.
