Who do you acknowledge?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Who do you acknowledge for what you are and what you have in life, yourself, the world, or God? Do you credit yourself with your prosperity and well being, do credit the World, or do you give God the credit? You should be acknowledging God, for He gives us our very breath and the ability to gain wealth! When things are tough and it seems like everything is going wrong, like everyone is against you, can you find it easy to turn and call on God and to lean on His mercy and grace? I must confess, when I’m reveling in His blessings and things are going super, I am so much like the Israelites and tend to forget to acknowledge that all the blessings I have and all the opportunities I have received are mine ONLY because of His grace and His mercy toward me. In our joy and success, we need to remember to acknowledge Him and thank Him for all He has done for us and for all we are enjoying. He has redeemed us and made our path straight. He has given us every good and perfect gift. And it is He who has come and saved us every time we have been down and out. That’s why only one set of footprints in the sand – He was carrying you! Then, we also need to remember to thank Him even when things are going bad around us, for in thanking Him we acknowledge Him and then He will help us!

MY PRAYER…
Gracious Father, every good thing I have in my life has come because of and from You. The family I have been blessed with, the protection I have received, the values that I now hold, the successes I have enjoyed, the hope I now have, the salvation I have received, and the future I anticipate are all mine because of Your grace and mercy, not because of my goodness or my works of the flesh. They are all mine because of what You did through Your Son and not the result of anything I have ever done. Thank You Father! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Through Jesus I thank You for ever more!
Amen
