Proverbs 3 & 4

Chapters 3 and 4 ... Benefits of Wisdom and its Supremacy
Chapter 3 of Proverbs is full of God's promises about wisdom. But, verse 6, stands out.. not because its one of those common verses you hear all the time, but because of the Hebrew wording.
"in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."  (3:6)
The word acknowledge here is translated in Hebrew as yada (יָדַע). Yada is a deep, personal word. It means to know, to really know, to know by experience. So in other words, in all your ways, KNOW him, and he will make your paths straight. Think yada type of knowledge goes further than facts, and numbers, and head knowledge. We are to know our Lord with all we are, in the inner most of our beings.

Chapter 4 describes wisdom in all her supremacy. Its very uplifting and encouraging. Until I read verse 25, which says, "let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you". And clear as day I realize, I can't keep referring to and living in the past. The things of the past are over and I can't change them. Then I started thinking about my future, and again, clear as day, I can't plan my future, only God can. I have to rely on the promise that His plan is perfect and the best thing for my life. So what do I do? Focus on the present, the "directly before me.".

So take this world Lord, and give me Jesus.
