Good morning! How are we faithing? It does amaze and stupefy me when I sin and forget who I am, who my father is and where I came from. My God is bigger and stronger than anything and yet I still struggle with life and the occupation of this flesh. Ever feel like that? Ever just walk into things and after say "how did that just happen?!" We wrestle with things in life and if we really stop to analyze what's really happening, dumping the selfishness, then we can start to see clearer. If I continue certain actions but expect a different outcome, I have become foolish and that is just not acceptable. We have minds that function and yet in certain areas of our lives we are controlled by selfish desires. Be honest. When things happen to you, really look to see if it is your own continued actions that keeps bringing them on. Being able to look beyond self is an exercise in wisdom. Acting accordingly is a hard discipline but the outcome is a better you and me.
Isa 59:10-13
We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men. We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them: transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love and wisdom. Teach us to see truth even when we don't really want to. Help us change our attitudes to one like yours. Help us see the needs of others. Lord, we want to make choices that honor you and we also want to act holy but alas, we stumble and fall. Forgive our weaknesses. We love and praise you Lord, in Jesus name, amen
