Proverbs 3:5-6: Part VI
(MCCC)
Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
“God will make your paths straight.” This cannot mean “God will endorse whatever your heart desires.” What kind of things is God interested in? The answers include: 1) his kingdom; 2) worship of him; 3) love of him and he loving us; 4) righteousness and holiness; and 5) truth. Trust in God, acknowledge God in all your ways, and God will direct you to himself. This will be good for you, since God made you and you were made to love and worship God. Such things define your life’s purpose. Find that, and the result is peace and joy.
