My Priority
2011 is in full swing!!!! One thing that I did last year was veer of course. I allowed some things to cloud my view and hinder my progress. I didn't listen!! So my priority this year is insight. The web defines insight as a clean and deep perception of a situation. This is what the Bible says about it.
Proverbs 2 The Message Bible
Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;
set your heart on a life of Understanding.
That's right—if you make Insight your priority,
and won't take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,
like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;
you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God.
The Bible says that God gives out wisdom for free. I don't have to pay for it. My college education didn't give it to me, it comes from God!! Last year I didn't use wisdom in my life and things fell apart--financially, relationally, and emotionally. I became very complacent and bitterness was trying to overtake me. However, it's was God's mercy that kept my mind in the midst of all the chaos. So, now I need wisdom to repair those things that are broken.
Isaiah says, in Chapter 58:9 (The Message Bible):
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
My church is on a 21 day fast and I NEED GOD!!!! I don't want to fast without results. I want to turn from my sin and allow God to change my life. Wisdom changes you!!! I want to change. I've been this way long enough!!!! So my priorities are different this year and I'm determined to stay focused and keep moving forward!!
