Uni-verse 200/10,000 For better through verse
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The Lord is the Executive Director of our lives, the CEO of the Universe. He does not control our feet in the sense He gives us freedom to go where we choose. But, when we acknowledge Him as Lord and Master in ALL and not just in so-called spiritual matters or matters of the after-life, He shows us in different ways the path we should take with regard to our physical lives, our health, our financials, our social life, our intellect, our contribution and our professions.
Despite our individual and collective abilities, God in His great wisdom has placed certain things beyond our reach, beyond our cognitive abilities or ability to perceive, know and understand. In these unknown and unknowable areas of human existence, we have no choice but to trust in His love, His protection and His grace. He watches over our coming and going, our sitting, sleeping and rising. He knows the pitfalls we will face. He sends His angels to uphold us and keep our feet from dashing against a stone.
A policeman or a soldier acknowledges his seniors by saluting them at every time of being seen. The salute is a symbol that the senior is the acknowledged leader who can guide and direct him in professional matters and that the former is deserving of his honour, respect and loyalty. But, we need to acknowledge God at all times of night and day, in good times and bad times and in all aspects of our lives. He promises to lead us in paths of righteousness, joy and salvation. It is not a smooth path but it is often living life on the edge and quite exciting. While living on the edge, when we acknowledge Him, He gets us to where He wants us to be.
Prateep V Philip
