Good morning, Precious Family,
I pray that you are living peaceful and full of joy in the presence of God. I love learning and growing in the Lord. There is always so much that the Holy Spirit teaches me. Do you know what’s crazy? No matter how many times I read the same passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit ALWAYS reveals something new.
Being open to instruction and guidance from the Word of God is important. We probably each know a person who thinks that they know everything about everything, especially when it comes to knowing what is best for their lives.
When we talk to people and they begin to share what is going on in their lives, our Spiderman Spiritual Senses began to go off and we offer support by sharing a certain passage from the Word. Nine times out of ten, their sesponse will be one of these:
1. I know that passage. I already read it.
2. I tried it once, and it didn’t work.
3. I gave God a chance and He let me down
What all of those responses have in common is that the person is relying on their own strength to get things done. As Christians, we must know and understand that our strength comes from the Lord. We were not created to fly solo. This life is a two person job, us and God.
There use to be a saying, “God is my copilot.” Honey, if God is your copilot, then y’all need to switch seats.
Scriptures of Instruction
Proverbs 3:1-10
New International Version
Wisdom Bestows Well-Being
3 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a]
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Song of Praise and Adoration
Family, in God, we must continually be in a place of humility and have a teachable spirit. We don’t know all there is to know. We must ask God to lead us in ALL THINGS.
I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of Christ Jesus, our Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and Way Shower.
