daily prayer

Good morning!! How are we faithing this fall morning? It's been an interesting few weeks full of questions and answers. I have often wondered with anticipation of an answer I know will come from God as to what is ahead. Not the future like the movies but more in line with the results of events in life. I also wonder about world politics and am seeing things go this and that way and hopefully learning all the while. It sometimes amazes me when things happen and the people involved are shocked and appalled like what happens when someone blows a red light. The "woe is me" reactions make me take a look at myself because I don't want to get caught up in that mindset because it serves no purpose but to take us on a path of self pity which leads to selfishness and depression. I'll tell you, I've seen some situations that doesn't surprise me when the people do ask "what the?" or even say,"why me Lord"? Asking questions when turmoil comes can be good for resolution or bad for pity. Screw pity. I want to know how or what to do the next time this thing comes about. I want to be wiser next time if at all possible. I want to know what God has for me and I want to act righteously. Jesus didn't come so we could flounder hoping for some magical fix for everything. He came because there isn't a magical fix and to teach us a better way. His sacrifice was for our redemption and his teachings are for our life. So the next time you are in something or see something going on, ask the right questions. Ask for wisdom from above and for the Word to come alive and show you. Ask for strength when you don't want to deal with the pain. Who does? Ask for peace in your soul so you can hear God speak. Ask to learn and remember this lesson so when you come out on the other side you can help the next person going through the same. Think about that.

Psalm 1
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
NAS
