Green Pastures

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  Acknowledge him in all your ways, and He will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6

So much of our lives we don’t understand.  We think we know what God’s doing, but we don’t.  He is making a way for us, but often we need to lay down our own expectations of what that way looks like.  When we lay down our expectations, we can trust in a God who provides-streams in the desert and honey from a rock!

What does the Lord require of us?  Trust first, acknowledge him in all our ways 2^nd, and the path will open up ahead of us.

When I was a school-aged girl, there was a path that my father, sisters, and I use to walk behind the house that he lived.  It was a long path, and often my dad would pass the time away by telling us very bad jokes.  I remember we loved walking that path with him.  At the end of the path was a beautiful golf course.  We weren’t members and we weren’t supposed to be there, but we would still break the rules and walk around it, and in the summertime even jump through the sprinklers with our dog. 

It was indeed green pastures.

I pray that green pastures would open up ahead for you.

I pray that you would lay down lofty expectations, and simply and humbly acknowledge Him in all your ways, and watch and see!

 He will direct your path.
