Believe in Yourself, Proverbs 23


"Give yourselves to disciplined instruction; open your ears to tested knowledge."

Proverbs 23:12


Do you really believe in yourself? I had a recent banter back and forth about prayer on-line with a fellow. The commentator basically said that he did not need prayer only a belief in himself to accomplish the same thing. People may accomplish great things because of a self focus and belief, but I think they may miss something bigger. In fact, we can be way off the mark. God may see us at our true potential, but because we fixate on our own perception of who we should be, we will fail to live up to a more powerful state of being. We should instead, ask God how he would want us to journey with him to discover what he has planned for our lives.


"Child Like Faith"

Proverbs 23:26 - "Dear child, I want your full attention; please do what I show you."

Does God speak to you? Yes he does, but you may not hear him. I often don't hear him, but when I dig in and really concentrate and seek his direction, I can hear his voice. What is God trying to show you in these times? What should be our priorities? How does he want to use you and I? Will we listen?

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
