This week in chapel our scripture came from Proverbs 3. This psalm includes one of the very first bible verses that I ever memorized – Proverbs 3:5-6.

Proverbs 3:5 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 direct your path.

That is a great verse to memorize and an even better one to live by. We discussed how beneficial it is for us and what a blessing it is to us when we trust in God and look to Him for guidance and direction. We also to took time to acknowledge that it can be easy to take our eyes off of the Lord and go our own direction. As we talked, many in the group shared about some of “the briars and brambles” that entangled them when they wandered away from God’s path. Some very tough but powerful testimonies were shared.

Some spoke of pain they caused, some spoke of pain they experienced, and many spoke of both. But without fail, each one gave thanks to the Lord for His grace and the loving way He has helped them to get back on the right path. Not only was it a time of testimony, but it was also a time of blessing. What an awesome God we serve.
