“CONDITIONAL PROMISES!”
Proverbs 3:5-6
“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.”
In college there were prerequisites by which you could not enroll in a particular course until you had successfully completed a (prerequisite) class or classes. In much the same way, God places certain prerequisites in our life's journey serving Him.
In today’s passage we find one don’t, two do’s, and a promise. Let’s get the don’t out of the way first: We are advised not to lean on our own understanding. All too often we discover that people place too much emphasis on what they know. It is called pride! God hates pride and we need to heed His warning against it.
God gives us two do’s: First, we are to trust in the Lord with all of our heart -- that means our everything. Second, we are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways. Stop taking credit that rightfully belongs to the Lord.
The precious promise that God gives us in this passage is that He will direct our paths. That, to me, is better than any Global Positioning System GPS that man has ever developed.
Where do you find yourself in the process of meeting God’s conditional promises? I trust that you will learn along with me that God is better able to lead, guide, and direct than we will ever be.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing! - - - Pastor Cecil
