Doing the right thing!
Proverbs 2:7-9 (NASB)
"He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who
walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He preserves the way of
His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity and
every good course."
Doing the right thing should be easy. We have a guide. A map quest.
A Counselor.
But all too often we venture away from our
guide/map (THE WORD) and our Counselor (Jesus) don’t we? So often we go to people and other sources
before we consider the one true source for direction and wisdom.
I know that I have heard God speak loudly only to
walk in the ways of man and listen to them when I knew what God had spoken to me
was different. Just because God leads me
in a different direction that what the body of Christ sees as a good direction,
doesn’t mean that I haven’t heard God.
When Paul heard and listened most people thought he
was crazy to stay and preach the gospel knowing full well that it would lead to
the shedding of his own blood. But he
chose to listen to the Lord.
Today I pray that God continues to speak to my
heart – even if it’s a still small voice and that I will learn to listen and
lean consistently….. Not only in times of trouble, hurt, confusion or pain.
Thank you Lord for drawing back to your spirit and
loving me even when I make mistakes and take your love for granted.
