Just A Few Of My Thoughts

“My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover discernment. Don’t ever forget how they empower you. For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right, you will be energized and refreshed by the healing they bring. They give you living hope to guide you, and not one of life’s tests will cause you to stumble. You will sleep like a baby, safe and sound—your rest will be sweet and secure. You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside, because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation.” Proverbs 3:21-26 TPT

Once again, we find ourselves closing the door of another year. We have experienced a bit of most every type of emotion, including hurt, sickness, and loss, but sandwiched within each, we have felt the calm of peace as our Father has remained with his arms open awaiting our call. Throughout life’s test, we are learning to trust in Him for our strength and living hope.

In this passage, we are presented with two important goals, two attributes with which to begin our new year. We are to walk in wisdom, or with sound judgment, using discernment, or discretion, when faced with our daily decisions. God provides each of us with the ability to think, and as life brings about its changes, the ability to make correct choices. Within His Word, are the truths that will continue to empower us, give us strength, and inspire us to do what’s right.

Heavenly Father, help us to remember, the importance of seeking your Word, the ability of discerning its truths, not only in times of crisis, but as we seek Your peace, understanding how it can be ours, all simply for the asking.

In Christ Love
