Advent Devotional – 12.26.2021
Nancy Cox
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
The New Living Translation – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
This was my parent’s favorite verse. It was included on every card they sent out, birthday, anniversary, Christmas, etc. It has become one of my favorite verses, too. It is my “go to verse” in good times and not so good times. I challenge myself to acknowledge God in everything I do or say on a daily basis. Acknowledge that he is in control and to honor him wholeheartedly – with all my heart.
I thank you Lord for giving me godly parents. Also, for promising if we trust you with all our heart and seek your will that you will make our paths straight.
Amen.
