Authenticate him in all things
2010.8.29 Sunday morning service sermon
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all things acknowledge him, and he will direct your ways.” - Amen.
Ordinary religions go to a meeting place once, so I would say that I am a religious person, but Christianity is not a religion that expresses religion through gatherings or ceremonies in a place, but rather a religion where God is with us in our lives.
In verse 6 of the text, <acknowledge him in all circumstances>, we want to obtain a spiritual meaning as the title.
1. First, trust God with all your heart
To believe in God, you must first believe in God with your heart.
Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 20:27 “The soul of a man is the lamp of the LORD, and searches the depths of a man.”
When you trust God and follow Him with faith, you are told to put your heart into it. It's not about believing, it's about believing completely.
Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
Matthew 22:37 “Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’”
Mystics deviate from the truth and emphasize the mystical experience, but the true faith of Christianity is longing for and following the truth of the Bible. 1 John 2:5 'Whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly made perfect in him. By this we know that we are in him'
2. Putting aside human thoughts and acknowledging God's will in everything
The text tells us not to rely on your understanding. Solomon was the king of wisdom, but he realized that the root of all wisdom was the fear of God.
Those who are called to be saints have different goals and methods of life from that day on.
It should be the principle to evaluate and design life only in the truth of God.
2 Corinthians 1:18 “God is faithful; our words to you do not say yes or no.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 “He brought down every exaltation that stood up against the knowledge of God, and took every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”
Psalm 37:5 “Commit your way to the LORD, trust in him, and he will do it.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 "My thoughts are not your thoughts, saith the LORD, My ways are not your ways, just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
This acknowledgment of acknowledging him in all things means that we know experientially and share relationships with each other, and it means that we trust in God's actual work of truth in everything.
Anywhere? Yes, anywhere. There is no other teacher or teacher in history who gives as much hope to him as Jesus, who slaughtered Peter and turned water into wine by surprise by a scientist even in fishing. Therefore, you must acknowledge him in everything and deal with him to win.
3. Receive guidance from God
When non-believers worship their ancestors as gods and write mortuary tablets, they write Hyeon High School Student Confession (顯考school生府君神位) for men.
If you have a post, I know that you use the post name instead of the student. Anyway, life is learning, and no matter how old or educated you are, you must have a teacher. We have a perfect Master, the Lord Jesus.
The text, Proverbs 3:6, ‘Acknowledge him in everything, and he will direct your way.’ The guidance is the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the biblical life.
But whoever is our teacher and our wisdom is Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1:30 “You are of God and are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption from God.”
Matthew 23:8 “But do not be called rabbis, for you have one teacher and you are all brothers.”
Deuteronomy 5:33 “Do all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may find life and prosper, that your days may be long in the land that you have acquired.”
There are many questions and tests every day. It is handled according to how you understand the essence of life. Only by thinking on the basis of the existence of God and the truth of the Bible, and praying with all your intellect under the influence of the Holy Spirit, you become a person who trusts in the Lord and receives blessings from those who acknowledge Him in everything. Congratulations to you and me.
