Consult God First
C. Bridges, M.A. Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Take one step at a time, every step under Divine warrant and direction. Ever plan for yourself in simple dependence on God. It is nothing less than self-idolatry to conceive that we can carry on even the ordinary matters of the day without His counsel. He loves to be consulted. Therefore take all thy difficulties to be resolved by Him. Be in the habit of going to Him in the first piece — before self-will, self-pleasing, self-wisdom, human friends, convenience, expediency. Before any of these have been consulted, go to God at once. (C. Bridges, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. WEB: In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
