LISTEN TO ADVICE and accept instruction and IN THE END YOU WILL BE WISE. Many are the plans in a mans heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails. —Proverbs 19:20-21 Thoughts ... MAN PROPOSES, HEAVEN DISPOSES. Most of us rush to give advice and make grandiose plans. The Wiseman 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. But while we pray for wisdom, lets pray also for patience to listen to the Lords truth in Scripture so we may recognize wisdom when it comes! Prayer... Almighty God, teach us your ways and help us discern Your paths for our lives. We have so many plans and schemes, but we know if they are not from you, they will not stand. Lead us to Your wisdom and we will not only seek to know it, but also seek to live it by the power supplied by Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. - Phil Ware
