Reading the Greats



Hello There! So these past few days we have been in D.C. and we have met some really amazing people. On monday we went to the Family Research Council and we talked with one of their professors. He talked to us about great books that will help you in your walk and increase your intelligence. Then on Tuesday we went to the office of the Senate Chaplain and he told us that the way he became the Senate Chaplain was by this verse, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not in you own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6. He also told us that he furthered his knowledge in reading some great books by great authors. I guess what i'm trying to get at is God wants us to succeed and the only way to do that is to read his word and study his teachings. Trust in God with all your heart, so don't only trust him in the hard times or the good times, but through everything we shall trust in him. The second point is; don't lean on your own understanding because it won't get us anywhere, we can do nothing on our own strength. Third is that in everything we do we need to acknowledge God which means to admit to be real or true and to realize the existence of something. Which means we need to see God in everything no matter what and give him the glory. Fourth is that if we follow the rest of this verse God will direct our paths, which also means that he has a plan. So I encourage you guys at home and wherever you are to follow this verse in all aspects of life and give God the glory.
