Run To God ~ Proverbs

Proverbs 3:5-8

God's Word Translation

Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth.

Do not consider yourself wise. Fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. Then your body will be healed, and your bones will have nourishment.

Solomon is telling us we need to Trust the Lord with all our heart, holding nothing back. If we don’t trust God with our whole heart then we have put our trust in something or someone else. If we don’t trust God with all of our heart then we will find ourselves without the wisdom needed for living a life that is right before God. 

Situations have come into my life that I hadn't a clue what was going on. We all have been there. You know the times, when bad news keeps coming one after the other. I am still learning how to acknowledge God in the midst of it all. We are given the promise that if we acknowledge Him, He will make our paths smooth.  

The Message Translation words verses 7 & 8 this way: 

"Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!"

What an amazing promise!

Father God in Heaven, I choose to run to You with every situation, the good ones and the not so good ones, knowing that You will make my path smooth as I acknowledge you in everything that happens! In Jesus Name, Amen!
