I am taking a little break from Project: Who is I AM? for a minute to tell you about something I learned yesterday, but I am still planning on releasing Part 3 on Jan. 3rd if possible.
So yesterday, as my family all gathered around and played board games and snacked on a variety of treats and portzelkie, (a doughnut sort of thing) I got to thinking about 2015, and the year ahead.
I was about to ask God for direction in 2016, for His leading and a clear picture of what I should be doing, when a verse came to mind.
It's a common verse, but somehow I had missed something.
The verse doesn't say "Ask the Lord to direct your paths," it's a promise. As long as you acknowledge Him in all of your ways.
I think our prayer for the new year should not be, "Lord, give me direction," but "Lord, teach me to acknowledge You in all my ways."
I thought of an analogy, it would be like if I said, "If you help me clean my room, I will give you an icecream cone." But instead of asking me where my things go, you, knowing that my desire was to give you ice cream, kept asking me, "Keturah, please give me an ice cream cone." That might be slightly frustrating for me.
Anyway, that is my verse for 2016, and if I accomplish nothing else this year but to learn to acknowledge God in all my ways, that will be enough.
