ACKNOWLEDGE
\n<\/u><\/em><\/strong>In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.<\/em> Proverbs 3:6<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u><\/strong>In all your ways acknowledge Him.
\nAcknowledge means to respond to, recognize or regard someone or something.
\nAcknowledge is an action word, it means putting into action what we say we believe about something or someone.<\/p>\n

To me, acknowledging God would mean that I would regard Him in whatever I think, say or do.<\/p>\n

It would mean that I would give Him the recognition He deserves, for if I say that He is my God, my Lord, and my Savior, then my thoughts and actions should show that.<\/p>\n

It means that I should respond to His word. If I truly believe the Bible is God’s word, then when I read it I should respond to it as though He were speaking to me.<\/p>\n

As I do acknowledge Him in all my ways, He will then show me the best way to live my life according to the plan and purpose He has prepared for me.<\/p>\n

All during my life’s journey, He will be my light in darkness, my song in the night, my hope in times of doubt and my strength in times of need.<\/p>\n

As I acknowledge Him, I will come to know Him more and more, and then my life will reflect Him to others.<\/p>\n
