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.
How close do we want to get to God? Do we want to be really close, so that we know when He is telling us something, and we hear Him clearly? Or do we just want Him around when we are stuck and there is no other choice but to call on Him?
Do we just want to remember Him on Sundays, Christmas and Easter, and have a nice fuzzy and warm feeling during those times?
This is a personal question, between us and God, because whatever we decide will determine how strong our walk and our relationship are with Him.
You see, the more we give up for Him, the more He gives back to us. The more we let Him be in our lives, the closer we will become to Him.
If we make Him a part of our daily walk, our faith in Him will grow. Our communication and sensitivity with Him will become much clearer.
Reading God’s word is what helps us to walk upright each day. And through His words He will lead us personally, as to what to do in whatever circumstances we run into.
Along with reading His word and praying these three steps will help us follow God closely.
- Reaching a point where we no longer care about what people think of us. As long as God is pleased with us, that’s all that matters.
- We make a decision within ourselves that we will do whatever it takes to do the right thing, even if we mess up while trying. We don’t give up. We repent and try again until we get it right.
- Our desires need to change so that we want what God wants for us more than what we want for ourselves.
These steps will help us tremendously in our walk with God. We will notice a closeness and a friendship, and a trust like never before.
