He shall direct our paths

Written by Derrick Owusu Antwi.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (KJV) Proverbs 3:5-6

How often do we wonder about the greatness of God in our lives or have thoughts of His Omnipotence? It may be seldom given our era of economic hardship and perverse generation. However, God always desires man to search and know Him more so that God can direct mankind in all aspects of life. Yet man has sought his own means to struggle through this perishable world.

The Proverbs of Solomon reminds us that if we surrender everything of ours to God, He directs our paths, though the road may be slimly or sketchy. We are, therefore, entreated to give our all to God by presenting our bodies as living sacrifices to God (Romans 12:1). Man, by nature is inherently proud but if we allow the LORD to rule our hearts, He shall lead us to victory.

There are three things that easily destroy man: Pride, Lust, and Anger (Proverbs 11:2, 1 John 2:16, James 1:19-20). Let us, therefore, make every endless effort to ward off these vices and allow God to rule our hearts. When God directs our paths, we live a life full of joy, happiness, peace, patience, long-suffering, kindness and love (Galatians 5:22).

May God open our hearts to understand Him and crave for Him the more so that He directs our path.
