Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. In acknowledging God we are not to trust enthusiastically to impressions, to dreams, to fancied voices, and inward suggestions. Far less are we to make a lottery of the Bible, opening it at random, and taking the text that first meets our eye as given us by God, and putting our own meaning upon it. We are to apply our understandings to the blessed volume of inspiration, that we may find its principles and precepts that bear upon our case, and give our hearts to prayer, for that influence of the Holy Spirit which is necessary to deliver us from all undue prepossessions and prejudices in examining it. (R. Wardlaw, D.D.) 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. |
