As I write this post
I have just left a meeting that I have not attended before. Lots of learning. But it is one of those places you are glad to
be part of, but thank God there is a bigger reason for what we do.
That might be
confusing, but I believe that God intends for us to live our lives with purpose
and with passion. These is no reason to
live from day to day and year to year going no where. God’s plan is for our success and for
abundant life. His desire is for us to
enjoy life.
I love the first of
each month. It brings some things that
start over again. The budget starts over
each month. Reading the Bible is part of
my every day, but the first of the month brings me back to the beginning of
Proverbs and of Psalms. These are incredible
verses. Let me share a few with you:
Fear of the LORD is the foundation of
true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline… But all who listen to
me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.”
That
is powerful truth that we ought to start the month with and every day as
well. What happens when we lack wisdom
or when there is no sign of real peace in our lives? Trouble comes. Lots of fear comes in.
How blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in
the seat of scoffers! But his delight is
in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
God
has given us wisdom, and He has also provided blessings for our lives as we
follow Him. Who do we trust? Are we spending time with the right people or
the wrong people?
It is
God’s words that feeds our lives with good things, with wisdom, with the truth
of God’s peace and that changes those who put it inside their lives. That is why the first of the month brings
some great things my direction.
Try it
for yourself. Spend time in God’s word
each day. Use the verses you read as
part of your prayer time. Notice that
the things that God says are useful to your life. He is preparing you for greater days. Let it sink in!
