Wisdom For The Journey Pay Attention

Thursday March 14, 2024

 Each person has many decisions to make each day.  At any given time we may find ourselves at that place where two roads meet and wonder which road we should take.  If we are willing to seek God, wait, listen, learn, and obey, we will find that God’s wisdom will guide us to make the right decision.  Through the reading of His word and obedience to it, we will mature and develop a good sense of where God wants to lead us on the road we have chosen.  

Listen! Wisdom is calling out. Reason is making herself heard. On the hilltops near the road and at the crossroads she stands. At the entrance to the city, beside the gates, she calls:  Are you immature? Learn to be mature. Are you foolish? Learn to have sense. Listen to my excellent words; all I tell you is right.  (Proverbs 8:1-3, 5-6 GNT) 
There’s no doubt that our way of thinking and dealing with situations has been seriously compromised by life and by addiction.  Our minds have attached themselves to false information and our thinking is distorted.  We must learn new ways to deal with emotions and thoughts.  We must learn from wise people who have walked with God and found healing and restoration by taking practical steps each day.  Most importantly we need to pay attention to the instructions God gives in the Bible.  We need to pay attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit who helps us sort out what is right and what is wrong in each circumstance.  

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.  (John 16:13a NIRV)

 The unfailing promise we have is that when we do things God’s way, we will find life that is meaningful and fulfilling.  If we choose another way, the negative consequences are also clearly specified. 


For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.  (Proverbs 8:35-36 NIV)

 



Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I hear You speaking truth to me today.  With every decision I make, help me to pay attention to Your direction and to walk in the way You have chosen for me.  I desire Your favour as I journey together with You on the road of life.  Amen
