Decisions.

Keys to help in making great decisions to avoid a life of regret and bitterness.

3.Acknowledge God in all our WAYS.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 
 
The verse does not say

“some” of your ways. The verse does not say “most” of your ways. The verse says “all” of your ways

. It means in everything you do. In every detail of your life – acknowledge God.
 
What does it mean to “acknowledge God” in “all your ways”? The Hebrew for “acknowledge” – “yada” – is also used in 1 Chronicles 28:9, when David encourages Solomon to “
know (yada) 
 the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and a willing mind.” Knowing God, acknowledging Him, leads to service with whole heart and mind.
 

1. Acknowledge His existence.

This is the most simple way we can acknowledge God. Hebrews 11:6 says,

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe the he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

2. Acknowledge His glory by your life.

Part of acknowledging God in all your ways is conforming your ways so that they bring glory to God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 states,

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

3. Acknowledge your death and Christ’s life in you – in short, your new identity.

This is probably the best part of acknowledging God in all your ways. Galatians 2:20 says,

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
