I've been thinking about that well-known and well worn verse in the Old Testament part of the Bible, namely Proverbs 3 and verses 5 and 6, which say:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (NKJV)
It occurred to me that the "In all your ways" part means excatly that, and if there is any area of our daily lives where we cannot, or more likely, refuse to think about or see God in a particular activity or speech or thought then we should ask ourselves why ~ have a pause and consider whether we should carry on that way; that's a challenge! What about the thoughts, words and activities relating to our relationships at home, in church, in work, in the local and the wider community, in business, even in our various states of mind and various circumstances, etc.
For everything we think, say or do we need to pause and ask can I acknowledge God in this, if not then why not, is it wrong? I'm not saying be introspective, as that itself isn't very helpful, rather we should maybe try and take a moment to reflect and then either carry on, change something or stop.
Have a think about it...
