daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing? Ever tried to rationalize something you want but you kinda knew it wasn't a wise choice? Yup, me too.  I can rationalize that car purchase in all kinds of ways but is it wise to suffer for it? After the pleasure or temporary glee felt, was it a wise purchase? Or how about something even more detrimental. How about that offer from the beautiful gal or guy for a fun afternoon of sex and candy?  Please. We don't have to talk at length to know when we act on selfish things we pay the price. Worldly wisdom says doing those things are normal and cool while Godly wisdom warns us  because of the ramifications of all we do. Consider the cost and remember the warnings in the Bible are for our own good. So just like our parents told us to look both ways when crossing the street God tells us to beware of sinful pleasures that can kill us.


Eph 5:15-17
  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Mat 10:16 

 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 

Ecc 9:12  

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. 

Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your wisdom in your scriptures. Lord, help us be wise in your ways and not the worlds. Help us put our lives under submission to you. Let us recognize things that are opposing your ways. Help us remember and to see the bigger picture and not our immediate pleasures and woes. Help us make the wisest choice in all we do for your glory because we love and want to serve you. In Jesus name, amen
