It was a beautiful morning at Festival
Park in downtown Nacogdoches, and it was the 3rd anniversary of Christ In The Park. Wow! 3
years of lifting up Christ in this public setting. And as usual, the diversity of participants
was one of the most beautiful aspects of this celebration.
This was an excellent day to talk about
three things “we must do” in our walk with God.
(It is not very often that we use that phrase!)…
BELIEVE GOD,
TRUST GOD, EXPECT GOD to…
Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust
in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
It is a must that every time we read a
verse the first thing WE MUST DO is BELIEVE GOD. God has said it, we must believe it
(Him). Period.
The second thing WE MUST DO is TRUST
GOD. Trust Him with all our heart. The “heart” is the mind, emotions, and will
acting together. For Christians, we get
to operate in Christ’s Mind, with His emotions, and His will to lead us. We must trust God with these three in
agreement. What we don’t do is lean on
our understanding in our natural mind.
The third thing WE MUST DO is EXPECT GOD
TO do what He said He would do. God has
said what He would do, we believe Him and trust Him…then expect Him to do it. Doing the first two, He directs our paths.
So, God has told us that like THE GOOD
SHEPHERD He is, HE WILL DIRECT OUR PATHS.
Believe Him, trust Him, and expect Him to do so.
See how easy it
is to live as one of God’s sheep.
Well, amen!
