God will lead . (Proverbs 3 v 5-6 )2

 Now lets consider Proverbs 3 v 6, 'In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths'.our dear lord is not there just for emergencies,we need to consult Him,acknowledge in all our goings and doings,till one gets up in the morning,till we go to bed at night.Share everything with him,hold nothing back,our dependence  on Him ,must be total,as the hymn writer says,

                                                    ' Lead us heavenly Father, lead us

                                                      O'er the world's tempestuous sea;

                                                      Guard us, guide us,keep us ,feed us,

                                                      For we have no help but Thee.

                                                                J.H.Newman.

Here is the promise, if we obey the exhortation,He shall direct our paths,not  just path,but paths, all the different paths we take in life,no matter how difficult they may be. We can take God at His word ,he cannot lie ,Titus 1 v 2. He will keep His word;you can depend on it.Charles Bridges writes,' God loves to be consulted.Therefore take all thy difficulties to Him, Be in the habit of going to Him in the first place- before self-will, self pleasing,self wisdom, human friends,....Before any of these have been consulted go to God at once'.

                                             'He lead them on safely,so that they feared not' 

                                                                     Psalm78 v53.
