“DO NOT!”

 Proverbs 3:5-6                    (ESV)

    “[5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

        and “DO NOT” lean on your own understanding. 

    [6] In all your ways acknowledge HIM,

        and HE will make straight your paths.”

When I opened an insurance office in 1994, a dear friend of mine made me a FAX COVER SHEET with Proverbs 3:5-6 on it.  Little did I understand that ALMIGHTY GOD would use those verses from those days forward to gently mold me into a vessel that TRULY depends upon HIM for everything……even the very air that I breathe (Isaiah 42:5)!!

 

On this LORDS DAY, I am reminded that placing any other entity ABOVE THE LORD is SO VERY counterproductive to my SPIRITUAL growth!  Assistance from humanity can be helpful, but HEARING from THE LORD is something that CANNOT be DUPLICATED!!!

“DO NOT” become accustomed to hearing from ANY OTHER voice than that of JESUS!!!  There is “….no other NAME GIVEN…” (Acts 4:12), so “DO NOT” search for anything else!!!
