\"Proverbs<\/p>\n

Howdy! I am in Texas, y’all. And it’s Houston Rodeo time. So there. But back to the matter at hand…<\/p>\n

How’s the reading going?<\/p>\n

Are you finding time to soak in His word? Or are you flying through to check it off? I do pray that you are finding connection more than completion<\/a> and that you are using the reading plan to facilitate that connection. I know it helps me.<\/p>\n

Today we are on Proverbs 3. Here’s what I heard…<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 3<\/h1>\n

Using the SOAP devotional method<\/a>, here’s what I heard this time…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scripture: Proverbs 3:6<\/h2>\n

In all your ways acknowledge him,<\/p>\n

and he will make straight your paths.<\/p>\n

Observation:<\/h2>\n

Reach out to Him always, in everything, and He will be right there to help.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/h2>\n

Life as mom, and life as a startup CEO, can be lonely. I feel as though I am constantly forging new ground. There are so many unexpected journeys, so many times that I feel like I am reaching beyond myself to get done what needs to get done. So many times that my path is jumbled and I am not sure what to do first and second because everything seems to important.<\/p>\n

I bet I’m not the only one who feels that way. I bet so many others feel that frustration and loneliness \u00a0and confusion at times in whatever roles they play, too.<\/p>\n

When I remember to reach out to Him, to cry out in frustration or call out and ask for guidance and comfort, so often I see Him. I see Him in the struggle, guiding me, comforting me, and I see Him in the solution or answer– even when those answers aren’t the ones I want right now.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h2>\n

Lord, I need your help. I need my paths to be made straight. I need to know how to order my tasks. I’m a bit overwhelmed, but I know you can help. Please, Lord, make straight my paths. Show me what to do. I am yours.<\/p>\n

Thank you for this reassurance that you are here, listening. And that you will guide me.<\/p>\n

I love you.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

Here is what I have heard in the past when reading Proverbs this way and using SOAP:<\/h3>\n
