Reflection

This is a challenge for us to remain steadfast in our pursuit of wisdom and to live with a purpose. As Christians we must set our decisions in the teachings of Christ to ensure that our paths are in accordance with the greater designs of God. It’s a call to both listen to wisdom and to live it out daily and to seek always to align our hearts with the right path laid out for us.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray that You guide my heart so that my desires and dreams are in line with Your will. Lead me on the righteous path, that in each step, I draw nearer to You. Let not the distractions of this world sway me, but let Your Word be the lamp to my feet. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
