VERSE:

VERSE: Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart fromevil. -- Proverbs 3:7 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+3:7&translation=kjvTHOUGHT: Let's keep this simple. First, we need to admit that with thecomplexities and perplexities of life that even the smartest of usis not all that brilliant. Second, the LORD our God is awesome inholiness, majesty, power, wisdom, and grace; he is far beyond usand all we can truly grasp of him is the smallest of glimpses ofglory. Finally, let's stay away from anything that smacks of evilknowing that evil infects and confuses us, as well as separates usfrom God.PRAYER: All wise and gracious Heavenly Father, your wisdom is matchless,your grace unfathomable, your holiness incomparable, and your lovebeyond comprehension. Thank you for all of your many blessings andgifts, but most of all I thank you for your gift of accessibilityto those of us who have no right in your presence but who areinvited here by your loving mercy. Please strengthen my will towithstand temptation and deepen my wisdom to see evil for what itis. Please empower me in my desire to stay far away from evil andits influence. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
