Reflections on Lifeနမူနာ

There are three things that this Scripture tells us to do. Firstly, to trust in the Lord with all of our heart. This is a place of surrender, with no room for anxiety or worry. Your trust in God moves worry out of the way so you can live in a place of faith and dependence on a God who cares for you.

Secondly, we are not to rely on our own limited understanding. Instead, we should look to God to lead and guide us in our decisions. When we do, we get access to the mind of Christ where His ways are higher than our ways.

Thirdly, we are to acknowledge God in everything we are doing. People around us should know that our life is centred around Christ, and He is the source of our born-again experience that has changed our lives so much.

If we are able to do all three of these things, God has promised to direct our paths.

In my life I have found this to be true. His guidance has been awesome at every major junction of my life as I have trusted the Lord, acknowledged Him, and laid down my agenda. I have experienced clear direction from the Scriptures or some type of leading from the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures say:

‘For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them’ (Eph 2:10 ESV).

Access into these works is by putting the three principles of Proverbs 3:5 into place and watch as God directs our steps into the plan that He has prepared for us. We will emerge to bless the world around us, with the knowledge of God and the reality of the Power of the Holy Spirit.
