SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
"I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower"
Psalm 18: 1-2 KJV

ACKNOWLEDGING GOD
PROVERBS 3:6
Since high school graduation in 1965, Proverbs 3:5-6 has been my favorite Bible memory passage. Yesterday we studied verse 5, and today we look at verse 6.
Proverbs 3:6 says, “In all thy ways acknowledge Him (God) and He shall direct thy paths.”
Our “ways” refers to how we conduct our daily life, even hour by hour. Whatever we do, we should weigh it with the question, “Is this compatible with God’s view of it?” If the answer is “no,” then we should avoid it.
Some of our “ways” may suit the “perfect will” of God. Some of our other ways may be “acceptable” to God. If another way appears to be “not acceptable” to God, it is to be avoided. Judging our actions (and words) in such a manner is the way to “acknowledge God” in what we do or say.
When we do this diligently, “He shall direct thy paths.” Our path is directed both by our knowledge of His written Word (Holy Bible) and by the influence of Holy Spirit with us.
Lack of knowledge of the Bible hampers our ability to “walk in” or “acknowledge him” in the conduct of our daily life.
Holy Spirit can bring thoughts to your mind that will help you to walk in the right path. He can also impress a “feeling” upon you as to whether something in particular is in the “right path.” It may be “heart feeling” or a “gut feeling” or an “intuition.”
When you are considering God (acknowledging) in all you do, you will never go wrong. There might be times when He clearly impresses you about something. Most of the time it will come in a “gentle” manner such that you may not “consciously” recognize it as such.
The key is to always “be mindful of God” in all that you do or say. That is how we acknowledge Him in all our ways.

WHY FORGIVE?
There isn’t a person alive that hasn’t been hurt by someone. Those hurts, called wounds, can penetrate deep into your soul. Many times, they fester inside a person and become roots of bitterness.
When we are hurt or wounded, we have a choice, to let it go or let it grow. One day Jesus was approached by Peter in Matthew 18:21 and was asked, “…Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?” You know how it was, Peter and John had a bit of rivalry, and they had “issues” between them. One issue was who should sit at Jesus’ right hand when he established his kingdom. If we are honest, we all have that “person” who just gets under our skin and irritates us. It might be with a word, or a look, or a deed, but they just “get to us.” This was how it was with Peter.
I am sure he had hoped Jesus would say something like, Well, Peter, I know how John gets to you, and I will deal with him, and make him stop. Instead, Jesus came back with a statement that would make each of us lower our eyes in self-examination. He said, in verse 22, “…I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.”
Seventy times seven? Four hundred and ninety times? Wow, Jesus, that just doesn’t seem fair. But the principle is that we have to be unlimited with our forgiveness lest it takes hold of us. Some versions say that it was four hundred ninety times in one day! Imagine that? That would be over 20 times an hour or every three minutes. Now that is a lot of forgiveness!
Jesus knows what happens when we don’t forgive. It grows into a root of bitterness that is so difficult to get rid of. In another passage in Mark 11:26 Jesus said, “But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” No one would want that to happen! It isn’t worth losing your being forgiven over not forgiving someone else.
We must examine our hearts daily and see if there are any “roots” of unforgiveness growing in our lives. If there are, we must pull them out by confessing them to God. Then we will be free. It doesn’t matter how small or big the offense is, it has to be dealt with to be right with God. In letting go of these things we are freed up and can receive forgiveness from God.
In I John 1:9 it says, “If we confess our sins (not forgiving is a sin), he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” If you have something that you are harboring, then let it go today so you can be free.

From a reader in Virginia:
"Your simple explanation of the gospel was spot on, Helen. If only preachers and ministers would just present it this way I think more would come to understand it and be drawn to the gospel and salvation by God's good grace. It doesn't have to be confusing and mysterious. Thank you and God bless you for the work you do.

EXHORTATION
4-6-2021
Have you ever felt as if everyone including God has walked away from you and left you alone? Well you’re not along as I’m sure we’ve all felt that way at one time or another. In 2 Chron. 32:31 even King Hezekiah knew that feeling as well. “God left Hezekiah alone only to test him, so that He might know all that was in his heart". The time comes to us all when God in His infinite wisdom and mercy will allow us to be pulled away from the chattering opinions of those we’ve loved and trusted. Perhaps you’re there all by yourself, feeling left out, confused and so isolated from everyone and everything. Now lest you forget, God knows all and He sees all...Therefore He will at times intentionally but so lovingly allow good folks like yourself to be pulled aside and left alone for a season. For it’s only there when you’re left alone that you can fully see just how things really are; Yes, with all the people and the things that’s been with you and around you. It’s only then that you can better put them all into proper perspective. Sure God already knows your strengths and your weaknesses for remember He knows all and He sees all. However, there are times that we ourselves can’t see the forest for the trees. I guess you could say it’s then that we’re put into a spiritual time out of sorts. Which in all reality is simply a self test in order that we can better know where we stand and where our priorities in life really are. Once again, God has no need to know; For He is God and He already knows all about us. But He will use a time of testing but never tempting in order to illuminate to each of us our own priorities and inabilities. So why don’t you use this alone time to get before God and ask Him to... “Search you and expose to you your heart”. There’s times when a desert place is not only the best place...But it can prove to be your blessed place. Just ask Moses, Elijah, David and yes, even Jesus Christ Himself. Have a blessed day...Stay safe and...Study to be quite (I Thes. 4:11) while learning to be alone in your place of prayer...With just you and God.

Prophetic Exhortation
Helen Sanders
Take time each day to reflect on what God has done in your life. Make a list of the times that he supplied things in a supernatural way. Then when you have a bad day, re-read this list and encourage yourself in the Lord.
Keep a daily journal of all that God is doing in your life, and how you are changing day to day. You will be surprised when you go back and re-read it how you have grown in the Lord!
