daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing? Like a watchman on a wall we are able to see what is happening around us if we pay attention. So many bury their heads in the sand or in the hay in the field they miss the things going on around them. We tend to get so wrapped up in our own deal we miss God's voice, God's handiwork and God's plan for our lives. There are so many things on this earth that captivate us and if we dive too deep into these things they can become idols. Does that mean we shouldn't try to be the best at what we do? On the contrary but don't be foolish to think you are great enough or so far above everyone else that the best becomes more important than the deed. Our attitudes about ourselves is so important because it can become real easy to pat one's own back and look down ones nose at everyone else. When God says "humbly" he doesn't mean self debasement but with the realization that others can and others did and after you are gone others will. When you achieve be very aware of God's grace on you. Be very aware that at any second everything could change. Change for the better, change for the worse. We are created to fellowship with the creator and if we fellowship with the created and ignore the creator we exalt ourselves and that only leads to pride before a fall.


Psalms 130:6
My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.
NAS

Proverbs 3:6-8
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body,
And refreshment to your bones.
NAS

remember Jess...remember our leaders...
