Daily Thoughts - Preparation.
"Lord, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me. Rather, I have stilled my soul, Like a weaned child to its mother, weaned is my soul. Israel, hope in the Lord, now and forever."
Psalms 131:1bcd-3
Psalms 131:1bcd-3
The wisdom of the Saints. In our journey to Christ we grow more aware of our sinfulness. Do you capture your thoughts, words and deeds? Do you see the effect they have on you and the world around you. A weaned child of God has reached an age where it begins to understand its world. It's see's the effect and realizes what is pleasing to God and what distracts from God.
A child of God allows God to be its center and it is God who speaks to him and thru him. We all grow up to be somebody but have you considered that effect? To be great in the eyes of the world is loss to be great in the eyes of God is gain. Be careful of pride, it will walk you down a path that isn't easy to walk back up. Be little within and without.
Dear Father, I sit with my own thoughts, words and deeds. I see the effect it has on me and those around me. As I try to be aware of my sinful nature, remind me today to be Your child in all that I think, in what I say and in what I do. Help me recognize Your voice within so at that most precious hour I will come to thee. Prayers for a family drawing closer to the Risen Lord. Thank You Father for answered prayers and for a journey that has been traveled together. In Jesus name, Amen.
