Listen to advice and accept instruction and in the end
you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's
purpose that prevails.
Proverbs
19:20-21
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
"Man
proposes, heaven disposes." Most of us rush to give advice and make
grandiose plans. The wise man reminds us that wisdom comes from submitting to
instruction for a significant period of time and then, only at the end of long
listening, does it come. If you are like me, you would do much better to let
your plans ripen a bit more in the light of the Lord before you launch into
them. I am comforted that James, the wisdom writer of the New Testament,
reminds us that God will give that wisdom if we seek it and not doubt.
MY PRAYER
Almighty
God, teach me your ways and help me discern your paths for my life. I have so
many plans and schemes, but I know if they are not from you, they will not stand.
Lead me to your wisdom and I pledge to you that I will not only seek to know
it, but also seek to live it. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Right Companions
Today's Scripture
A
man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks
closer than a brother.
Proverbs
18:24, NIV.
Today's Word
Your
destiny is too big to accomplish on your own. That’s why it’s so important to
be connected to the right people. We have to understand that God has already
arranged for certain people to speak faith into you. He has already placed
people in your path that will inspire you, challenge you, and help you
accomplish your dreams. The reason some people never reach their highest
potential is because they never get away from the wrong people.
Recognize
today that not everyone can go where God is taking you. You’ve got to connect
with people who understand your destiny and can call forth your seeds of greatness.
You don’t have time to spend on people who are always pushing you down, telling
you what you can’t do, or never giving you their approval no matter how hard
you try. Friend, life is too short to drag people along. If you will get the
wrong people out of your life, then God will bring in the right people so you
can fulfill the destiny He has in store for you.
Prayer for Today
Father
in heaven, thank You for placing the right people in my life. Help me to
discern the right connections You have for me. Give me strength to release the
wrong relationships so I have room in my life for the people You have chosen to
connect with me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
