daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing this fine Friday morning? Our wisdom, if from the world, will become useless. What am I talking about? Wisdom that is deemed wise in the worlds eyes isn't wisdom at all. Sure the knowledge of how to make things or maintain things is useful but true wisdom such as is present when we make choices of truth over lies or selfless help verses attention grabbing help are choices that without the Holy Spirits discernment, become self serving. This is an area we need to pray and we need to seek God's wisdom in his Word. Why you think I ask for wisdom all the time? I'll tell you why, because as a man I would seek glory and honor from men in the natural. I would seek accolades and ways to promote myself for selfish gains. I would be prone to acting in a manner becoming to me and not God. We see these actions all around us. In the news, at our jobs, everywhere we go. Getting those accolades or getting praise in of itself may not be bad but how do we take them? How to we honor those praises? Do we realize that without God we would not achieve or do we pat our own back. Attitude man, attitude.

James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

Lord we praise and honor you and pray for courage and a clear mind to make the choices we need to make and it's in Jesus' name we pray, amen
