Daily Encounter: A Week-day Devotional by a staff of ACTS International.

Tuesday, July 9, 2019

“In all your ways acknowledge God and he will direct your path (or make your paths straight)."¹

A NASA official involved in space exploration was talking to a reporter about humans landing on Mars. The reporter was concerned about how they would be able to return to earth.

"That involves a highly complex plan," the space official said. "It begins with the words, 'Our Father who art in Heaven.'"

Jokes aside, the reality is that most people do pray at some time or another. Even those who rarely pray often do when they are in trouble. How much better to daily commit and trust our life to God and seek his guidance in all that we do at all timesâ€"regardless of our circumstances.

Sometimes it's difficult to see how God is directing us or making our path straightâ€"especially when we've been going through a series of rough times. In time, however, if we have daily trusted our life to God and look back, we will see how God has led us all the way. It is true, “In all things God works for the good of those who love himâ€�²â€"even if it is eventually!

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to remember to daily commit and trust my life and way to You for every decision I will be called on to make and for everything I need to do each day. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus’s name, amen.�
