The Straight Path

Do you consistently acknowledge Yahweh? Do you thank him for each blessing he has given to you – salvation, sanctification, life, family, friends, neighbors, etc.? Do you ask him for help throughout your day, every day? Do you praise him for his faithfulness and his goodness. Do you give him the glory in your accomplishments and victories? Do you worship him in song? Do you take time each day to pray with him?

God wants us to seek his kingdom first! Instead of putting our desires first, we should want his will to be done in our lives. Isn’t that exactly how Jesus lived? We should not be in this for our own fame, but instead we should want his fame to increase. We should want to glorify him.

Yahweh calls us to acknowledge him in everything we think, say, and do. In Deuteronomy 6, God’s Word declares that we are to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all of our might. We are called to worship him with our head and our hands. This idea has been referred to as the “mark of the lamb.” He promises that if we acknowledge him in everything, he will make our paths straight.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:6
