Thank you FATHER for those who stood in the gap with me in intercessory prayer, and for those who advocate on my behalf with YOU.
I now realize Lord, that it was YOU, guarding me anytime I was rejected by anything. YOU know my heart and my destiny. Yours come after the rejection of that which does not recognize your worth. Their rejection is God’s protection all the time. Always intervening on my behalf is God; we age, look back and see how many calamities God protected us from, which is why we give glory to HIS Holy Name.
It hurts when God causes us to separate from things of the world that is not in the interest of our well-being, the associated pain of separation.
In (Proverbs 3:5-6) King Solomon gives a general exhortation from the King to readers of Proverbs. The wisdom contained in these verses is applicable to anyone seeking guidance and direction in their lives.
The young may say they live the life given to them, and they minimize wisdom gleaned by the elders, who have the benefit of hindsight. Looking back in history, we gain a clearer understanding and/or perspective.
We are increasingly thankful for good judgment, knowledge, experience, and common sense gained over the years. These are the treasures we pick up along the journey of life, pay attention that you do not pass them by, and they become only memories and lessons gained in the realm of retrospect.
I can exchange nothing in this world for my true essence, nor on my behalf can anyone else.
Proverbs 3:5-6
New International Version
5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
King James Version
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.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Living Bible
4-5 “If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. 6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.”
