THIS WEEK'S WEEKLY THOT

Proverbs 3:5-6 are two of those verses of scripture that are well known to Believers. Many have even committed them to memory. But knowing them, memorizing them, and actually practicing them are very different things. I was once coming home from a men’s retreat and was trying to use a way that was different from that which I usually used. I drove down the road with confidence that I was going the right way. But after some time on this road I found I was not headed home. In fact, I had no idea where I was. I stopped in a convenience store to get directions to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The workers there had no idea how to get me to it. Finally I found a Pennsylvania State Trooper’s office and they were able to direct me.

We all make wrong turns or travel down wrong roads in life at one time or another in our pilgrim journey through this world. We either assume we know the way we should go and not consult the Lord or we think we know a better way than God has laid out for us. Our choices seem right at the time but later we find we’ve been led away from the Lord and His will for us. We need to turn around and get back on the correct road.

If we had put Proverbs 3:5-6 into practice we wouldn’t have lost our way and wasted valuable time. Acknowledge God in your ways today and allow Him to direct you down life’s correct road.
