“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 HCSB
Our Jobs

3. Think about His in all our ways.
God’s job
1. He will guide you on the right path.
“A man’s steps are determined by the Lord, so how can anyone understand his own way?”
Proverbs 20:24 HCSB

For those who feel that the Christian life is all about God doing for us everything we want. Why does God have three requirements for us while he only has one? for those who feel that we must work and work and work to win God’s approval. Notice that God is not saying work and then I will think about guiding you. For those who find themselves in the middle, I think you are on the right path. For God is not a genie in a bottle to grant us our three wishes. Nor a kill joy wanting us to work to try to win His approval. But He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
“Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6 HCSB

Do you want God to do something for you? Then do something for God! do you want to be directed in all your paths? Then seek Him in all your ways with all your heart.
“Those who know Your name trust in You because You have not abandoned those who seek You, Yahweh.”
Psalms 9:10 HCSB

“You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and places where I banished you” — this is the Lord’s declaration. “I will restore you to the place I deported you from.”
