The Scripture passage we are memorizing and meditating on together today comes from the Old Testament book of Proverbs, chapter 3, verses 5-6. The LORD is the true God, the only living God, and he is worthy of the unreserved and devoted worship of all who believe in him. But without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, our sinful nature makes us want to rely only on our own plans and arrangements, instead of surrendering willingly to God's good will. God is merciful and gracious to his people. He is loving and faithful, and his only Son, Jesus Christ, was crucified and risen for all who believe in him. By the blood of Jesus, we are forgiven of our sins and do not perish, but have eternal life! The God who loves us not only gives us eternal life in the future, but also gives us heavenly wisdom from his word, so that we may live in the world and be sanctified and have abundant life. It is because God loves us so much that he gives us the faith and desire to "rely" on him; the strength and joy to identify with him "in all that we do" and not just in selective events. As you meditate on this, notice how the Scripture mentions two "do's" and one "don't" for Christians. Ask God to guide us in our decisions and choices of heart today, both big and small. The Father promises us that "He will guide"! Will you identify Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life and seek first the "Kingdom of God and His righteousness" at this time?
