The past couple of days I have been studying about paths. God has a specific path for each of our live, and no matter what direction we go in life or career that we choose, out path will be a straight and narrow path if we are walking with the Lord. If we begin to get confused and stray off of that path, God will help us find it again.
Today let's study about this straight and narrow path to God.
Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Who will make you paths straight? God will-- if you acknowledge Him in ALL your ways. What does it mean to acknowledge someone? It means to consider them, to listen, to allow them to impact your life and decisions. As long as you remain humble and willing to yeild to the will of God you are not going to get lost in life. You will find the path for your life. Listen to what God says here:
Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
People in America choose to live their lives doing these very things, and as long as we choose to do what God tells us not to do we have not acknowledged His ways in our lives. Why is America in such a mess? Because we do not acknowledge the ways of God. We have gone our own path, done our own thing, did what was right in our own eyes. We have followed our OWN HEARTS instead of following God.
And does the church acknowledge God? A large portion of the church does not acknowledge God, they acknowledge their own doctrines, their own traditions, their own desires.
As a nation we have strayed off the staight and narrow path. This isn't something that has happened just in the past year. We began straying off the path nearly a half century ago, and we have never corrected course. And here is the Word that God gave to me, it is not a good word, it is a hard word for our nation. But here is the Word:
America is on the path of destruction. There are people running for president, but thus saith the Lord of Host, do not think that any candidate can save America from her path of destruction. Reguardless of who the America people elect for their president America is on the path of destruction and will remain there until she repents. Did I say to you that a leader could save a nation? No, I said to you my people, who are called by name, if you will humble yourselves and pray and TURN FROM your wicked ways, then I would come and heal the land. Humble yourselves and pray says the Lord, acknowledge me in all your ways, and I will direct your path and I will lead you away from this path of destruction, look to me and live says the Lord of Host!
