Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. I. THE NATURE OF THE INJUNCTION. A practical acknowledgment is required; but this is founded on a firm belief of the existence and perfections of God. We acknowledge God in all our ways — 1. When we live in obedience to His Word and commandments. 2. When we look to and trust Him for what we want, and implore His blessing on all we undertake. 3. When we acquiesce in and submit to His dispensations. 4. Acknowledging implies praising and gratefully adoring Him under a sense of His bounty and loving-kindness. 5. And seeking Him in and through His Son. II. THE ENCOURAGEMENT GIVEN US TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD. 1. We shall be preserved by grace from fatal mistakes and errors. 2. We shall be conducted by God through all the difficulties and perplexities that may meet us. 3. We shall be well instructed in the way of duty and peace. (S. Knight, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.WEB: In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. |
