Obeying God’s will (V5-8)

For the past two days we have been looking at the Father’s counsel through Proverb chapter 3. Only after one has studied the word of God can he move on to the next level and that is obeying His will. “….do not lean on your own understanding”, that is don’t depend on them but trust on God. We all can be wise in our own eyes, but the counsel of God disagrees (v7) for sometimes, logically we may be right but not scripturally. So obeying His will is the best way. There is a word that has been seen from chapter 2, 3 and 4 of Proverb, the word Path.
1. 2:8 “ guarding the paths of justice and Watching over the way of his saints.”He protects and preserved our path.
2. 3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path” He directs our path.
3. 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” He gives us prefect Path.
How then will it happen? With all of thine heart (v5), acknowledge Him means fellowship and if there is something in your life that can’t bring God into partnership then get rid of it.

Obeying God’s will bring healing to our flesh and refreshment to our bones (v8). And that’s what the Father is saying to all of us. Learn from my word and obey it and in return I will bless you with good health.
