Text: Proverbs 3:5-6
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
There is a saying that it is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket. It means you should not risk everything on the success of one venture; it also means you should not put all your efforts or resources into doing one thing because if it fails, you have no alternatives left. Humanly speaking this is true and it is a wise piece of advice.
However, the ways of God are not our ways, neither are his thoughts our thoughts; as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are his ways higher than our ways and his thoughts than our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9.
If you desire to achieve results in your dealings with the Most High you have to put all your eggs in his basket. Any other basket is a counterfeit. You must trust in him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways you must acknowledge him so that he can direct your paths- Proverbs 3:5-6
When God knows you have an alternative outside him, he will simply step aside and refuse to act on your behalf until you have exhausted all your options and cry to him for mercy.
Jacob made God is only option. When he had an opportunity to encounter a holy angel, he held firmly unto him and said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me.” Genesis 32:24-29
God cannot fail; he is reliable and dependable; a covenant keeping God. Don’t allow the devil to play games with your faith by arranging situations that bring doubts and instill fear in your heart.
Action Nugget: Put all your eggs in his basket and you will suffer no loss in Jesus name.
