Last night, our group studied selected verses from Proverbs. We’ve done this twice before and each time we have learned more about ourselves, each other, and at the same time, deepened our understanding of God’s Plan for our lives.
Life is not easy--we all know that. God never promised that life as a Believer would be easy but He did give us a game plan for running this race, a plan which helps us ignore the pebbles in our shoe and navigate our way around the boulders in our path.
So what is this plan to handle life’s problems and to deal with difficult people and circumstances? The plan is in Proverbs. In this book of the Bible there are over 50 different categories of subjects: personal relationships, marriage, business, emotions, and pearls of God's treasures of knowledge and wisdom. In Proverbs there are all sorts of people, people like us and like those we interact with daily: the wise, the sluggard, the fool, the strange woman, the proud, the wasteful; all of us are there.
To get started on God’s Plan, grab your Bible, find a quiet nook, settle in a comfy chair and read Proverbs 3:5-6 as these verses instruct us on how to let God take the lead in our lives and follow His plan.
“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.” Proverbs 3:5-6, (NIV)
