Devotions for Caregivers

          HIS WORD IS TRUE! 

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6

             When I was ten years old our family made our first trip to Florida.  One evening while we were strolling down the street from our hotel, we passed a shop that said "Yacht Broker" on the window.
             "Daddy," I asked, "What is a ‘ya-chet’?
             "Honey, that’s pronounced ‘yacht’, and it’s a big boat," he replied.
             Well, the word looked like ‘ya-chet’ to me, but for all the rest of my life I have known it says ‘yacht’ because no matter what it looked like, I had my father’s word on it.
 That is essentially what God is saying to us in these verses.  “Things are not always what they may seem, but take My word for it -- don’t lean on your own understanding.”  God means what He says and He says He is still and always directing our steps.

PRAYER

Father, Help me to trust you, to believe your word even if it doesn’t seem to make sense to me.  If you say it, it must be true. And thank you for your promise to direct my every step when I acknowledge you.  Amen
