We concluded our teaching time on Sunday, December 30th with a look at a familiar section of scripture...Proverbs 3:5-6, English Standard Version. It reads this way, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make straight your paths."
It is so recognizable to us that we read through it quickly and miss the deep truth and direction for our lives. As we approach 2013, I can't think of a better focus than to daily trust in the Lord with all that we are...heart, soul, mind and strength...and to lean on God's truth and plan rather than putting a lot of energy and faith in our own knowledge or perception of life....while our daily experience is to live with Jesus Christ at the centre of everything we do...trusting His direction, guidance, correction and care to guide our paths.
We will send off another one of our young people this week to experience a Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School time of dedicated teaching and practical application of the truth of Proverbs 3.
I encourage you to write out this verse in whatever format you want and post it somewhere you will daily look at it...memorize it....contemplate it....study it....but more importantly....live it.
Trusting you will enter 2013 walking humbly with God.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
