📖 Scripture:
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:6 (KJV)
Devotional Reflection:
Life can feel like walking through a maze. We try to map out our own routes, take shortcuts, follow other people’s footsteps — but sooner or later, we hit a dead end. That’s when this scripture reminds us: the way forward is not about control, but surrender.
God isn’t asking us to have it all figured out. He’s asking us to invite Him into every decision — big and small. When we do, His hand steadies the path, even when it winds through valleys we never planned.
Acknowledging Him isn’t just a Sunday act. It’s how you answer that call, handle that problem at work, or even how you respond in traffic. When God gets the first word, you can trust He’ll give you the next step.
Reflection:
- Am I asking God to bless my plans, or am I surrendering to His?
- What everyday decisions could I start bringing before Him in prayer?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
Acknowledgment unlocks direction. When you lean on Him, He won’t just light the path — He’ll walk it with you.
Practical Application:
Before you rush into your next task, pause and whisper: “Lord, I acknowledge You in this.” Watch how that small prayer changes your pace, your choices, and your peace.
Prayer:
Lord,
Teach me to slow down and honor You in all my ways.
When I’m tempted to run ahead, remind me that You see the whole map while I only see a step.
Guide me, correct me, and keep my feet steady.
I trust You to direct my path.
Amen.
