Paths

 Hello dear ones!  I haven't posted in a while, and I'm sorry for that.  You know how the days can pass so quickly and time just gets away from you.

I was reading in Proverbs, and this verse jumped out at me.  

Proverbs 3: 5-8  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.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.  It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

Do you realize how true this is in our lives?  The key here is to ACKNOWLEDGE Him.  So many young people (and old) are afraid to acknowledge Jesus for fear of ridicule or being left out.

If we realize we need Him, we acknowledge Him, even if we fear losing friends and maybe even family, He will direct our paths.  What could be better than the God of the universe directing our path of life?  

I'm sure you have friends who think they are too smart to accept Jesus, but as it says in this verse, "do not be wise in your own eyes".  There are things in this universe that are too high for us to understand.  Pure and simple, humans only have partial knowledge, even though many think themselves so intelligent, they pale in comparison to God.  

If we fear the Lord and depart from evil, we will have a healthy well-balanced soul.  We will be able to endure all things through Jesus.  This verse even says we will have physical health.  That our bodies (flesh and bones) will be full of health.  Wow, God is truly able to do this for us IF...we only submit to Him and stop thinking we can do it on our own.  S U R R E N D E R...is the key.  Surrender every part of your life to Him and just see what He can do.  It isn't easy, but it is worth it!

I love you and I pray for all whose paths I will cross through this blog!  Be blessed!

Love,

Kim
