ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 NKJV: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE HIM and HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.”

The verses above are a good follow-up for the lessons we have had the last couple of days. Today your Faith Confessions will come from Proverbs Chapter 3.

PERSONALIZED PROMISE BIBLE:

Verses 3: 1 – 10: “I do not forget the benefits of living wisely. I understand the rules that I must follow in order to be a success in life and I submit to them willingly. Because of this, my life is prolonged by many years and my prosperity overflows like a geyser in a desert land.

“I will never fail to let love and faithfulness fill me. I bind them about my neck and write them on the tablet of my heart. By them, favor prevails in my life and I obtain a good and honorable name in the sight of God and men.

“I give my whole heart to trust in the Lord. I will not be the fool who balances his life on the ways of human understanding. I am God-inside minded at all times and never cease to acknowledge His presence to guide me in all that I do. He sees what I cannot see and knows what I do not know. With Him in all things, all of my paths are made straight. Therefore, I will never put my own wisdom before the Lord’s.

“I shun all evil and look to God for my provision. This brings health and vitality to my body and strength to al of my bones.

“I would have nothing if it weren’t for my heavenly Father. Therefore, I will honor Him with my wealth and the best part of all of my increase. I am a tither and a giver. Because of this, everything that I set my hand to do is blessed and brings forth an abundant harvest. My storage places are filled to overflowing and my vats brim over with new wine.”

Verses 12 – 18: “My Father instructs me according to His Word.

“He enjoys my companionship and gives me the ability to function in every circumstance. I am a happy and prosperous person, full of wisdom and understanding.

“I know the profits and returns of knowledge. I pursue her with a whole heart. It is a great joy to me when I find her. She is more precious to me than any treasure on the face of the earth. Long life is in her right hand and in her left are riches and honor. I have determined to embrace her like a lover. My union with her brings me happiness, prosperity, and health.

“I shall enjoy the pleasantries of life, follow the paths of peace, and end my days as an old, vibrant and happy person.”

Let those words go deeply into your spirit—as you do, you will KNOW:

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH!
