No more "leaning" only "acknowledging"

Proverbs 3:5-8, " 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. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It WILL be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones."

This is one of the scriptures that I confess every morning and over the last few days has really been highlighted as I read it. Over this last year, Chad and I have really had to make the choice to lean not on our own understanding. Nothing about my situation has been understandable!!! There are still so many things we don't understand and may never understand. BUT as we have intentionally acknowledged Him, He is directing us.

We realized a while ago that we can't do anything in our own strength. We also realized a long time ago that we are not as wise as we would like to be! So we have had to be intentional about fearing God and honoring Him so that we can walk in His wisdom. Because of this living and active Word in our lives, my flesh is getting healthier and healthier and I am getting stronger and stronger.

See how that works? Confessing this word day after day has brought revelation and truth and is living and active. In other words, it's working! It's true and it's setting us free!

If you need wisdom, TRUST HIM and don't rely on your own understanding. It's nothing compared to His. The Holy Spirit is fully accessible to you and He will help you if you let Him. If you submit to Him. Let Him direct you. If you are accessing Him and submitted to Him, He will do as He has promised. He will tell you when to move and when not to.

One more thing to point out...this scripture says that, " it WILL be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones." Not maybe, it WILL. Not sometimes, it WILL.

So no more leaning...only acknowledge and see the power of God manifest itself in your life.
