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.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
It’s often difficult for people to understand that Jesus
was born just like us. He wasn’t born in a luxurious palace or a fancy
hospital. He was born outside, in a manger. He came into a world filled with
sin, yet he lived an absolutely perfect life. He came to lead us, and guide us
into a loving relationship with God.
The three wise men are a great example of what complete
submission to God looks like. The moment they saw the star they dropped
everything they were doing and embarked on a long journey that was most likely
difficult at times. The men had no idea where they were going, but placed their
complete trust in a star to lead them. They devoted everything to seeking Him
no matter the cost. Just like the three men in this song followed a shining
star to see Jesus when he was born, if we submit
ourselves to God, He will direct our paths and be a perfect guide for our
lives.
Try to remember a time when you did submit something to God.
What was the outcome of that situation?
Dear Lord, help us to submit ourselves to You knowing that You
will direct our paths and be a perfect guide for our lives. In the Name of
Jesus, Amen.
