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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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?<\/p>\n

Do we just want\u00a0to remember\u00a0Him\u00a0on Sundays,\u00a0Christmas and Easter, and have a nice fuzzy and warm feeling during those times?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This\u00a0is\u00a0a personal question, between us and God,\u00a0because\u00a0whatever\u00a0we decide will determine how strong our\u00a0walk\u00a0and our relationship are with\u00a0Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reading God’s word is what helps us to walk upright each day. And through His words He will lead us\u00a0personally, as to what to do in whatever circumstances we run into.<\/p>\n

Along with reading His word and praying these\u00a0three\u00a0steps\u00a0will\u00a0help\u00a0us\u00a0follow\u00a0God closely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. Reaching\u00a0a point where\u00a0we\u00a0no longer care about what people think of\u00a0us.\u00a0As long as God is pleased\u00a0with us, that’s all that matters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Our desires need to change so that we want what God wants for us more\u00a0than\u00a0what we want for\u00a0ourselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n

        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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
