"Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God, insight into life from knowing a Holy God."
Proverbs 9:10
"Go that way!"
Do you ever feel lost? I do all of the time. I am constantly searching for the direction that the Lord is calling me to walk. I do get lost, but he helps me to get back on track. Prayer has become so important to our family, we know we have been called to a greater purpose and it does not come without its trials and tribulations. I have learned that when I am feeling lost, that I really need to kneel down, pray, and worship God and to thank him for the many ways he is perfecting my faith. I don't have all the answers, but he does. Our lives are unique and were created for a purpose. I think the joy of life is seeking out that purpose and living it out as a demonstration of God's love. Our lives should be a blessing to others. When I am lost, I wonder if I am being that blessing to others. Sometimes, I don't feel like it. Fortunately, he helps me to remember and often someone reaches out and becomes that blessing to me.
Proverbs 9:12
Who doesn't want to be wise? We do want to learn from our mistakes and avoid them all together. I enjoy being around smart and wise people. Those who have the battle scars, the experiences, and the temperment that comes with overcoming challenges. Are you taking life seriously? Are you a mocker? It is hard not to be a cynic in these times. However, we are not called to be cynics and mockers, but to live our lives with joy and a spirit of expectation. God has a plan and we should wisely seek after his plan and his direction.
On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
