                    Acknowledge Me As Lord

   "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." 
    Proverbs 3:6 
 
   "I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father." -- John 5:30
 
   "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do His good
    pleasure."  -- Phil 2:13
 

I have given all that I can give for you, My children, and you owe 
everything you have to Me. I have given you life and peace, and there 
is nothing good that I will not give you. But I am calling you to 
acknowledge Me as Lord. 

My ways are above all things, and I am calling you to acknowledge that 
you need Me, more than the very breath you breathe. Your life is in 
My hands and I have a plan for you, but the foundation of that plan 
is that you trust Me and honor Me above all else. 

I am with you, this day and forever. I am watching over you because I 
love you and because I am tender-hearted towards you. I know the way 
that you take, your rising up and your lying down, and there is nothing 
that escapes My attention concerning you. I have good things in mind 
for you, to give you hope and a future, for My love for you is secure. 

Surrender your ways to Me, and receive My will for you; for there is 
no other worthy of your love and your life. Then I will guide you into 
green pastures and give you rest for your soul. And you will know My 
blessing and My peace, and everything I give you will be My gift to 
you.

I am calling you to total surrender to My will, for only in that will 
you completely find Me.
