Acknowedge

Prov. 3:6 (NKJV)

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.



J.A. Barnes says of this passage, "Not in acts of solemn worship or great crises only, but "in all thy ways;" and then God will make the "path" straight and even." How often do we only turn to God for direction when things are "out of control." In truth things are always out of our control, and we need to begin to acknowledge that truth in all areas of our life. Even the areas of our lives that we believe to be the most "under control" are the areas where we are tempted to not acknowledge God. So today we must ask ourselves what areas of our life are running smoothly? Is it financial, or family, or maybe our health? Whatever it may be, we must add it to the list of things in which we ask God for direction. Then and only then we can say that we acknowledge Him in all our ways.
