For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:25
Lord, that I might today walk in Your wisdom and not my own! How many times have I attempted to do things my way and made what I believed to be the best decisions in the moment only to find that I have completely and totally missed the mark? Or tried to bring balance and healing in a situation, applying my knowledge and experience, not consulting You and Your Word, only to find that I have made a bigger mess than I started out with? How many times have I tried to carry my burdens or the burdens of others, only to find out that I don’t have the strength, buckling under the pressure? Lord, I confess I don’t have the answers nor do I have what it takes to be successful on my own. Only You do. I pray for a pause button spirit. I pray that as I am compelled to act that You would remind me to press the “pause button” so that I remember to consult You on the correct course of action. I pray when I am compelled to carry the burdens on my own that You would remind me to press the “pause button” so that I can be sure that I am undergirded by Your strength. When I feel like I need to assert myself and my thoughts into a situation I pray that You would remind me to press the “pause button” and seek Your face and Your wisdom. I confess I don’t have the answers nor do I have what it takes to get through, let alone be successful. My wisdom is indeed foolishness before You. Today, I intentionally seek Your face. Let Your power and might be seen in me and through me that You might get the praise and that You might manifest the results You have purposed in my life and the lives of those around me in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
