“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matthew 7:24
I was reminded last night that Solomon asked for 1 thing = Wisdom (1 Kings 3). What would you have asked for? I am going to be real: I would ask for a self-cleaning house, a chef, an unlimited ATM card, or for my children to live long happy lives. BUT God wants us to live life abundantly! You are at a crossroads…choose 1:
- Read or listen to today’s reading, check it off your list, go about your day
- Pray, think about what you are reading….this is the WISDOM. Read them, take some notes so that you can APPLY them. The scripture says it will straighten your path!!
Each year I do a read-through, I read in a new Bible so that I am not distracted by what God might have said to me previously. After I read today, it was fun to take out old Bibles to see what I underlined. Some are similar (too good not to underline them) BUT some were very different. It was also a great time of reflection to see if I am actually applying God’s word or just underlinining.
