Jeremiah 48; Daniel 2; 1 Thessalonians 1

Yesterday was another day with my nose to the grindstone. I published the bulletin, worked on discovery classes, prepared for Evangelism Explosion, uploaded Growing Together to the Internet and worked on this Sunday’s message for Galatians – “One last reproof.” Then we’ll go into a sermon series called “7 Deadly Sins” – a Biblical look at pornography, gambling, drinking, marijuana, smoking, Government Welfare, TV & Movies and more. It will be an interesting and hot group of topics. After work I ran to Myrtle Creek and taught an Evangelism Class to a church down there. I finally fell into bed at 10 PM.

This week’s theme verse. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.”

Direction is something I am always in need of. Some decisions are difficult to make. Sometimes I am faced with choices that I really have no clue about which way to go. It sure would be nice to be able to have someone with the answers step in and lay it all out so clearly that there was no mistake about which choice I should make. Unfortunately that will never happen. What I can depend on, however, is IF I place my trust in the Lord for the outcome, acknowledge the truth from His word in prayer and commitment, that He will direct me. Too many times I have made the wrong decision on my own, sometimes in a snap judgment, sometimes after much thought. I have held many things in my hands, and lost them all, but whatever I placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

Dear Lord, I need your direction. On my own I have made mistake after mistake. Please guide me and direct me in my daily affairs. I bring all my decisions to you. I trust you for the answers. I am committed to your direction. All that I have I place in your hands for safekeeping. Guide me oh thou great Jehovah.
