Proverbs 3:5-6
King James Version (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Study God’s Word
and listen to the Holy Spirit. Believe God’s prophets. Understand
that these are the true sources of godly knowledge.
REFLECTION
Many of us are acquainted with
the Book of Proverbs; however, we are especially familiar with Chapter 3,
verses 5 and 6. I remember as a young girl, I memorized these chapter and these
two (2) verses. The operative word here is ‘memorized’. With the thoughts of a
child, it was very ‘important’ for me to memorize scripture because this is
something that I was taught in Sunday School. However, today I realize that as
I was memorizing scriptures, I WAS NOT
learning or committing God’s Word to my heart, soul, mind, and
spirit. Friends, I tell you, little did I know that daily reading of God’s Word …especially Proverbs
would endow me with Godly and life wisdom!
Read
HIS WORD! It is not just
enough to memorize the WORD of GOD. There must be clarity, understanding,
application and meditation of what we read. There are 31 verses in Proverbs, a
verse for every day of every month of the year.
Repetitious reading of proverbs (i.e. today is the 7th and we
will read Proverbs 7) every month will soon reveal/manifest to us that there is
guidance and direction for every facet of our lives, thereby we are begetting
WISDOM!
Let’s learn Proverbs 3:5, 6 - Intimacy and Spiritual Breakthrough.
Two words in this passage are
especially significant-the words “ways” and “acknowledge.”
The word “ways” (Hebrew derek) means “a rod, a course, or a mode
of action.” It suggests specific
opportunities a person may encounter on a recurring basis. The most common “segment of opportunity” we
experience regularly
