Hey there BCU Fam!
For this post, because of the informal format, please tune into the podcast recording (click here or on the BCU avatar below) and refer to the written post for the highlights. We pray the post blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the post!
Podcast highlights:
- A couple of “red flag” situations happened the week of this recording, prompting this “unplanned” podcast.
- Admittedly, in one of the situations, I did not recognize one of the flags until after the incident happened.
- Oh, but thankfully, I heard the Lord loud and clear for the second flag.
- Acknowledgement is a requirement—–if we want to do correctly and God’s way.
Scripture references:
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
Pray without ceasing.
BCU Fam, I have to confess I was really looking forward to the items in my on-line basket—and I was a bit disappointed that things did not work out the way I wanted. BUT, I do thank God for the warnings, and for me actually heeding them (this time). It may seem “unnecessary” to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways, (meaning, I already know what to do—it’s the same routine I do everyday), but it’s important to speak to Him for guidance in everything that we do. Yes, even in the simple things, like which sale to partake in, which route to take home, how to conduct that meeting, or even the sequence of our routine tasking. This way, we get used to hearing and obeying God’s voice, and avoid the pitfalls that come with not listening. Now, this can take some practice and thankfully, if we do mess up, there are some situations that we can come back from, with God’s help. Keep in mind, though, there are other decisions that can be more difficult or even impossible to recover from—and we do NOT want that testimony (See I Kings 13:1-30). So now that we know differently, with the help of the Lord, we will do differently. Amen? Amen! Let’s pray about it!
Father, in the name of Jesus, as we come before you, today, thank You so much for reminding us to acknowledge You in all of our ways. Bless us, Lord to make it a habit to spend time with You in prayer, so we can hear Your voice clearly and obey You completely, so that we stay on the paths you have for us. Bless us Lord to trust that if it’s a no, or there are roadblocks, that it is for our good and Your glory, Jesus. We thank You for hearing us and helping us, in Jesus name, we pray, Amen.
