Do It Right by Emem Gabriel

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
– Proverbs 3:6

In life, there are right and wrong ways of doing things. The right way ensures the  right responses or results and vice versa.

No one understands a product better than the manufacturer because there are  steps to follow in enjoying the product. Thus, Proverbs 3 teaches us certain  principles to follow if we want to succeed in our enterprise. These are principles  that will give us an upper hand in our endeavors.  

Anything done outside of God’s will ultimately collapse, when we learn His  principles and follow them through, we enjoy beautiful outcomes.

We must therefore trust in the Lord with all our hearts; we must believe that he  can do what he will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to his promise, to  do what is best for us, if we love him, and serve him.  

We must, with an entire submission and satisfaction, depend upon him to perform  all things for us, and not lean to our understanding, as if we could, by any forecast  of our own, without

God, help ourselves, and bring our affairs to a good issue.  

Those who know themselves cannot but find their understanding to be a broken  reed which, if they lean to, will certainly fail them.  

In all our conduct we must be diffident of our own and confident of God's wisdom,  power, and goodness, and therefore must follow Providence.  

Proverbs 3:9 teaches us about honoring God. We must honor Him, not only with  our bodies and spirits which are His but with our substances too, for they also are  his: Our wealth must be devoted to his glory.

The above scriptures are principles important for every enterprise. To be the best  we aspire to be, we must learn to do it right.
