Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
What a precious passage of Scripture! God has promised to guide the
believer, to those who trust upon the Lord, acknowledging Him in all their
ways. What does it mean to acknowledge God? It means trying to please God in
everything we do. It means seeking God's will from the Scriptures. The Holy
Spirit of God NEVER leads anyone to go contrary to what is written in the
Bible!
Please read carefully what God is saying to us in these Bible verses... Proverb 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
Every person questions at times why things are the way they are in life, and it's easy to start to blame God for the hardships and heartaches in one's life and the world; but God tells us plainly in Proverb 3:5... LEAN NOT UNTO THING OWN UNDERSTANDING!
So often believers try to figure things out; things that are way over their head. We're dealing with Someone much bigger than we could ever imagine. That's why someone wisely said that the word “Bible” is simply an acronym which means:
B asic
I nstructions
B efore
L eaving
E arth
God has promised to guide us as Christian Believers; but He specifically warns that we must not lean upon our own frail, limited and human reasoning. There is no way we could ever understand the greatness of the God in Whom we are dealing with (Psalm 145:3). God again warns us in Proverb 3:7... BE NOT WISE IN THINE OWN EYES: FEAR THE LORD, AND DEPART FROM EVIL! These are commands from our God.
So many people get angry at God,
blaming Him for the problems and miseries in their own life and in the
world; but nearly all people are wise in their own eyes, arrogant, saturated
with selfishness and sinful-pride; nearly all Americans DON'T fear God and
DON'T depart from evil. Look at SIN CITY Las Vegas. Instead of fearing God
and departing from evil, they mock God by promoting and selling evil. Look
at the gay (homosexual) parades all across America. Instead of fearing the
God of the Bible and departing from evil, they parade their wickedness up
and down America's streets for all to see. God will not bless this wicked,
decadent, demonic society. No way! No way! No way!
God promised to guide us if we would acknowledge Him in all of our ways. We not only refuse to acknowledge God in all our ways in America, we have united against God in rebellion and wickedness. The “United States” is an appropriate term, describing a nation who have united together against the God of the Bible. It is shocking when one considers that a nation of 300,000,000 people have brutally murdered over 50,000,000 of their own children by abortion. We have become a decadent, soft, demonic, evil society. Consequently, evil is coming in and taking control of every facet of our government and society. Silly-minded people may laugh and scorn now; but in time evil will overtake America that will make Hitler's holocaust look like a Sunday picnic.
1st Samuel 2:3, “Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.”
