Annie’s Ink-Lings
Today I'm sharing another scripture illustration page and the journaling that I made for my notebook. It is always exciting and meaningful to me to be able to make and color a picture that illustrates a bible verse. I hope it will be meaningful to you, also.
My journaling:
Proverbs 3:5-6
“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.”
1) First of all, we must “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart.” This means there must be a total commitment to the Lord, trusting that He alone can lead and guide us through our lives. God is appealing to the believer to fully surrender their whole being to Him. If God has our heart, He has all of us…body, soul, and spirit.
2) Secondly, we are told “lean not unto thine own understanding,” which means we must “DISTRUST ourselves.” Our hearts cannot be trusted to direct our steps, for they often deceive us.
3) And lastly, God tells us, “In all thy ways acknowledge Him.” Every decision we make, big or small, must be committed to Him. In doing so, we are acknowledging the Lordship of Christ and that He knows what’s best for us. We must abandon our own wills and humbly pray, “Thy will be done, O Lord.”
If these three conditions are met, GOD WILL DIRECT OUR PATHS! He may guide us by Scripture, or by the counsel of godly brethren, or by an inner peace of the Holy Spirit, or by clear and unmistakable circumstances. Or, He may choose to use a combination of these things. Whatever the case, He will make it clear to us which way we should go and we will be blessed as we follow His leading.
Blessings to you,
Annie
