Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him.
That’s a section of these verses that seems to get skipped over too often, while people focus on the first of the two verses.
The words “in all your ways acknowledge Him” are just as important as the rest of them, since acknowledging Him (submitting ourselves to Him) is critical to Him being able to direct our paths and bless us.
We spend so much time “chasing after God” and trying to put all the pieces of this great puzzle together. And in doing so, we tend to make things so much more complicated than they need to be.
God is big. There’s no doubt about that. And the things He does are intricately woven, which can make them seem very complicated. But as we begin to submit ourselves to Him, and humble ourselves, we will see His grace working in our lives.
Proverbs 3:34 (NKJV) 34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.
This doesn’t mean that we can’t ask God questions, or that we have to understand everything about Him. But it means that no matter what comes our way, we can humble ourselves before Him and trust Him, even when we might not understand everything that’s going on.
That is true humility.
And humility is the key to growing in God and seeing our lives take shape as a believer.
