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 paths!
This is one of many verses out of Proverbs that I love. Trust in the Lord, do we really put our trust in the Lord? I know as Christians we say, yes I trusted in him to save me. What about since you became a Christian, since you asked him to forgive you of your sins and to live within you. Do you trust him?
The other day one of my children made the statement (not to me) that he didn't trust them. You know once you get to where you can't trust someone it takes a LONG time to regain that trust! God wants us to trust in him for everything from what shoes to wear to what he would have us do with our lives. We simply need to TRUST IN THE LORD!
With all thine heart, do we trust with our whole heart or just part of it?
In all thy ways acknowledge him, do you acknowledge God in ALL your ways, in ALL that you do from day to day? Pretty tough one to say yes to. I want to say, Yes I always trust in the Lord w/my whole heart. I ALWAYS acknowledge him....However how many people would cont. to read my post if I said that?! Not many I promise you. I'm not perfect and there are times when I fail. How about you?
He shall direct thy paths, Do you allow the Lord direct thy path. You know I've done this for years and just this morning I did (again I don't always do this I am human) Prayed that as I went to work he would direct my paths (words, actions etc). I also prayed that the Lord would lead to make the right purchases at the store later today so I don't waste money. Do you allow the the Lord to direct thy paths?
Just a quick thought. I pray all have a tremendous day today.

another Promise of God
Psalm 27:14 "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say on the Lord."
Do you wait on the Lord? Do you allow him to give the strength needed for your day?
Just a few things to think on....

Promise for the Day
I John 5:4-5 "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
1. With God we can overcome the world
2. We can have Victory in our daily walk in overcoming that which appears before us in the world.
3. Christ overcame the world and so can we.

I'm Glad I Got Lost
The title probably has you thinking why would anyone be glad they were lost. Well, at our Conference this past wk this song was sung by our choir. The story behind it is absolutely wonderful!
I'm Glad I Got Lost
My old life of sin was getting me down, Satan was proud, he tho't he had me forever bound.
But in the still of the night the sweet Spirit came, telling me I was lost, but there was a Saviour who saved sinful men.
I'm glad I got lost so I could be saved, under conviction weary of sin, that was my only way to know that I needed to know a Lamb's blood applied. I'm glad I got lost so I could be found one wonderful night.
Making my way to sweet Calvary, stumbling around in the darkness, trying to see; when I realized I was an old sinner lost, I saw the Light, waiting to save me at an old rugged cross.
I'm glad I got lost so I could be saved, under conviction weary of sin, that was my only way to know that I needed to know a Lamb's blood applied. I'm glad I got lost so I could be found one wonderful night.
Hearing that song, and even reading over it now: I look back to the day in May of 1988 when I settled my salvation! God is so good and has blessed me in so many ways. I Praise the Lord for Loving ME so much that he gave His ONLY begotten son for ME a sinner!!
I wouldn't even want to imagine what the world would be like without Christ! I see in today's world what is happening with people pushing Christ out of everything. I love what my Preacher says, Christmas will ALWAYS be Christmas! In God we trust will ALWAYS be in God we trust! So many area's so many things that people think they're making things better by omitting Christ, the Bible and Prayer. If they just stopped and realized what God did for us so many years ago.
John 3:16 "For God SO loved the World that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but HAVE everlasting life."
God loved the WORLD (YOU)
He gave his ONLY SON (JESUS)
So WHOSOEVER (YOU) could believe in HIM
So we could HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
I pray that this is some way is a blessing or encouragement to someone, to look back to the day they accepted Christ as Saviour. Just take time to remember what HE the one, the only God above has done for YOU!!
This is the day that the Lord hath made I will rejoice and be glad in it.
