Proverbs · chapter 3 · verse 6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Proverbs 3:6 · King James Version
What Proverbs 3:6 means
All thy ways is the part people skip. Not the big decisions, the ways — the ordinary route of a life. Acknowledge here is closer to knowing him than to mentioning him. The directing follows that, and the verse before supplies the reason your own understanding cannot hold the weight.
