Proverbs 3:5-6 (King James Version)
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.
There was a quote made by President Barack Obama during the 2012 presidential election campaign during a speech. “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
He was right, not in what he was implying, but in the actual words themselves. Whatever we are able to accomplish in our lives, all of the successes and blessings, come through the grace of our Lord. Even those who do not believe are touched by what many call divine intervention on an ongoing basis. Most of the time, we simply don’t realize it. The truth is this, that God can and will guide us through our troubles. This isn’t to say that God has any interest in making us successful in the terms of society today. He wants us to be successful in the realities of life. That is to say that he wants us to find the path to the next life. That path is belief in Yeshua, trusting our Lord in every action we take, every word we speak, and every breath that we take in.
We are to acknowledge Him, to be humble and repentant servants. Through our flawed understanding of the world, we will fail in all we do. When we trust in our Lord, we have an opportunity to succeed. Again, it’s important to understand that success by our standards is not necessarily success by his standards. It’s not about making money, paying our bills, and buying luxuries. It’s about being what humans were supposed to be originally and what we cannot be with the grace of God and the belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
