Proverbs 3:6 – In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

I was speaking with a friend regarding a mutual acquaintance who had in previous gatherings admonished us for our “foolish ways” regarding God.  We realized that this individual thought both of us foolish because we go to God for everything on a daily basis. My friend and I don’t judge anyone, so therefore, after our analysis as to why he thought us foolish, we spoke about other things that we had in common.  However, prior to moving on we both concurred that it must be an empty existence living without God. In fact it’s not living if it’s without God.

Existing without God? That’s something that’s completely foreign to me on every level. It’s something I wouldn’t or couldn’t do.  To be without God is “suffocation.”  God is breath and nourishment and my sole provider granting all provisions according to my needs.

Isaiah 26:3 – Thou wilt keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because He trusteth in thee.

Trusting God generates a circle of love, truth, and peace.  It’s an infinite gift and the reason for tranquil nights and sunshine-filled moments.  It’s an elevation of one’s soul as it advances fully. Being knitted to God is the purpose in which we were created.  It’s our anchor of sobriety in this drunken world of hypocrisy, and the common thread of decency that runs through our hearts, in which we feel that love.

If anybody encounters an acquaintance, that thinks you’re foolish, in how you love God, or how you live your life, pray for them daily, and perhaps they’ll one day, experience the joy, and peace, of knowing, loving, and trusting God.

Then smile knowing full-well you can TRUST God to fulfill all of His promises, when we’re willing to walk in His ways…

“Father thank You for Your breath of life and Your hands of love, I acknowledge You in all that I do, now and always, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
