“Let our confidence be uniform. In all thy ways acknowledge Him
(Proverbs 3:6).
Take one step at a time, every step under divine
warrant and direction.
Ever plan for yourself in simple dependence on
God.
It is nothing less than self-idolatry to conceive that we can
carry
on even the ordinary matters of the day without His counsel.
He loves to
be consulted. Therefore take all thy difficulties to be resolved by
Him.
Be in the habit of going to Him in the first place –
before
self-will, self-pleasing, self-wisdom, human friends, convenience,
expediency.
Before any of these have been consulted go to God at once.
Consider no circumstances too clear to need His direction.
In all thy ways,
small as well as great; in all thy concerns, personal or relative,
temporal or eternal, let Him be supreme… This is indeed to walk with God
as a Father.
This is true faith.”
–Charles Bridges, A Commentary on Proverbs (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1846/1968), 24–25.

Have a blessed start to the new year, my friends, and remember that it belongs to the Lord!
