Today’s Reading: Prov. 3-4 and Ps. 89
These chapters are pure gold… I could read them again and again!
So many beautiful lessons in the book of Proverbs and Psalms.
It’s difficult to decide what I want to comment on…
I think I’m going to mention two verses that speak afresh to me today….
First… Prov. 3:5,6 – This is one of the first verses I remember memorizing!
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path.”
EGW comments… "Many are unable to make definite plans for the future. Their life is unsettled. They cannot discern the outcome of affairs, and this often fills them with anxiety and unrest. Let us remember that the life of God’s children in this world is a pilgrim life. We have not wisdom to plan our own lives. It is not for us to shape our future. “By faith Abraham, when he was called togo out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8. Christ in His life on earth made no plans for Himself. He accepted God’s plans for Him, and day by day the Father unfolded His plans. So should we depend upon God, that our lives may be the simple outworking of His will. As we commit our ways to Him, He will direct our steps. Too many, in planning for a brilliant future, make an utter failure. Let God plan for you. As a little child, trust to the guidance of Him who will “keep the feet of His saints.” 1 Samuel 2:9. God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led, if they could see the end from the beginning and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him." (Ministry of Healing, p. 478-479)
Second verse: Ps. 89:15, "Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance."
When we walk closely with the Lord, this verse will be our experience! And it will be natural to turn to Him for every step and every move.... When He directs our path, it truly is beautiful!
Let's allow God to plan for us just as He planned for Christ...
Tomorrow's Reading: Prov. 5-6 and Col. 1
