daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing?  I hear people whine and moan when things aren't or haven't gone the way they want or think they should. I hear them doubt or blame God. If they would pause and reflect, they would see their own selfishness or selfish motives have caused them to fall into temptation and that falling leads to the woes at hand. Things don't always go right but have you ever considered that someone else has gotten what they prayed for in the situation you are in? That maybe a lesson is to be learned on your part. Maybe your motives were suspect or maybe the answer is no but you tried to manipulate circumstances for yourself anyways?  Sure it isn't always easy or even palatable  but you must consider that maybe what you are in keeps you from something worse. We have to look for more than just what is in front of us if we ever want to have the mind of God. I know some people that criticize every thing and everybody. What makes them think they are so all fired smart or are always right? Be careful you don't become so smug you cant see pass your own self and your own ways.


Jas 1:13-14
  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

Heavenly Father,

  Thank you for your Word that reveals all truth. Forgive our haughtiness and our self serving ways. Lord, teach us to be charitable in all things. Help us see where we harm so we stop harming. Lord we lift those in pain, in Jesus name, amen
