"Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do." - Ephesians 5:10, 17
Paul urges us to find out what pleases God, to understand what God wants us to do (as opposed to what we want to do or what others want us to do). This can be your daily prayer: "Lord, what do you want me to do? What will please you today? Help me to hear your voice above all others and to gladly do what will bring you glory today."
—Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
Good morning! It's Monday again already. I hope y'all had a great weekend!! I attended my very first NASCAR race on Saturday night!! It was really exciting and fun! Much more than I thought it would be. Did y'all do anything fun and exciting this weekend?
The message today means a whole lot to me at this point in my life. I have really got to step back and think about what GOD wants me to be doing and what will bring glory to his name. I may not always like it...but I'm not in charge. I hope you will pray this prayer with me today so we can all live today and every day the way God wants us to. Have a wonderful day!!
